Why read it?
1 author picked The Patchwork Quilt as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a real joy to read, with a particular story of a particular family but a universal feel to it. It could be my story or yours. The illustrations have the charm of the eighties, but the story doesn’t feel dated, and it is really inspirational to get quilting or think about which pieces of fabric I would use to tell my family’s story.
From Valériane's list on children’s books about quilts.
