With her fabric line launch in jeopardy and the quilting community taking sides, Penny must piece together this patchwork of deception. Assisted by her quilting guild and the handsome textile manufacturer analyzing fabric composition, Penny uncovers a scheme involving design theft, counterfeit fabric prints, and a plot to sabotage independent fabric designers. From suspicious print registration that reveals unauthorized copying to fabric grain that doesn't match production standards, every square tells a story. But when Penny discovers the victim was systematically stealing quilt patterns and fabric designs from small creators to mass-produce them, she realizes the killer is protecting creative rights more valuable than any fabric line.
