Description
“Heartwarming. . . . As women face tragedy, they often lean on friends. And as Round Robin reminds us, they also find great strength within themselves.” —The Dallas Morning News
The Elm Creek Quilters have begun a Round Robin quilt, created by sewing concentric patchwork borders to a central block, as a gift for their beloved fellow quilter Sylvia Compson. But even as the quilt is passed from friend to friend, its eloquent beauty increasing with every stitch, the threads of their happiness begin to unravel. As each woman confronts a personal crisis, a painful truth, or a life-changing choice, the quilt serves as a symbol of the complex and enduring bonds between mothers and daughters, sisters and friends.
“In this sequel to The Quilter’s Apprentice, Chiaverini, a quilter herself, has pieced together an even more beautiful story . . . Women readers in particular will be touched and charmed. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
“Chiaverini spins a bunch of compelling yarns and expertly weaves them together.” —Kirkus Reviews
