  "Texas Chain: Thrifty Thirties " (74 by 90 inches, 1999) was designed and pieced by Judy Martin and quilted by Jean Nolte. Each ring of squares is made from a different fabric, while the background is a uniform muslin. Jean accented the plain areas with Lotus Flower quilting. The fabrics include 1930s reproduction prints from Marcus Brothers and Benartex. The batting is organic cotton from Hobbs. Complete instructions for this quilt are included in The Creative Pattern Book (Crosley-Griffith Publishing Company, Inc., 2000). Photo by Brian Birlauf.
