I love the fabrics! I've seen these prints in actual fabrics.
My grandma used to hand-quilt every winter. I wish she'd taught me! The project of making this quilt is intergenerational and I love the images of seniors and children working together to make a wall hanging for the good of the community, for display in the library.

The simple, straight-forward delivery of the Rockwell's picture books never fails to enchant me. This one in particular was made even more special thanks to Rockwell's experience as the founder and artistic director of the cooperative community quilting group Peace by Piece: The Norwalk Community Quilt Project which brings people of all ages and walks of life together to create collaborative beauty for their communities. Is the universe trying to get me to learn to sew because if so, FINE TWIST MY ARM.

This delightful picture book shares the store of 17 people working together to create a quilt in the community center. Each page spread shows the details process of creating the quilt from selecting the fabric to sewing on the binding around the edges. At the very back, there’s an Author’s note which explains what she’s done with a quilting group she created in her community. There’s also a page showcasing nine classic blocks people use in quilts and another page providing more details about the quilt they made in the book. Readers can visit the author’s website which includes the story behind the book and a photo gallery. It’s a wonderful little step-by-step story that can be a great introduction to beginning a quilt project. The illustrations in this book were created with watercolor, ink, and scans of fabric.
