Quilts using John Flynn's Artifacts

Answer: They're all made from John Flynn's "Arttifacts!"
That's right! Although the inspiration for Artifacts was native American
culture, the rich graduated colors and textures of John's collection are
perfect for any style quilt, as these quiltmakers will tell you!
