I finished 'How to Make an American Quilt' by Whitney Otto this morning. This book went through the lives of various women in a quilting circle. In addition to giving brief instructions on making different kinds of quilts, the book really focuses on the idea that every quilt tells a story about the life of the person who made it or the person it was made for. I liked hearing about how all the women came to meet each other and why quilting became important to them. It was interesting to see that love, friendship, and suffering all played an important part in the making of the quilts. This book was good, but was kind of slow at times. I'm glad I read it, but it's not one I would really recommend to many people.
