Runaway Quilt

by Jennifer Chiaverini
Carver County Library, hard cover, (large print), 421 pages

Sylvia finally locates the Civil-War era quilts in the attic and a journal along with them. The memoir tells her stories about her ancestors that she never knew, upsetting her and raising more questions.

I loved the parts of the story that were the journal left by Sylvia's great-great-aunt Gerda. The modern-day parts were kind of irritating (except the cornerstone scene with Sylvia and Andrew). I may need to take a break from the Elm Creek Quilt novels . . . and start to work on some actual quilting! I just needed to chill out last night.
