I read a quote from Jenny Doan's book How to Stitch an American Dream that ties quilts and family history together beautifully:

"What I realize now is the pieces of all of our lives are being stitched together.  The fabric stretches all the way back to our mothers and fathers, and grandmothers and grandfathers.  So many of the little pieces of our past are part of the beautiful quilt that tells our story. While many of our stories are fraught with heartache and hardship, what I’ve learned is that they are also filled with the batting of blessings—bound with dedication, hard work, faith, and, above all else, love for one another. And sometimes, even when we’re not aware of it, it’s all of that love and dedication that gets passed down to the generations that come after us."
