This review is from: Quilting to Soothe the Soul: Create Memories for Today, Tomorrow & Forever (Paperback)

The text about memory quilts is both interesting and useful. The patterns provided have limited appeal. However, I did not purchase the book for the patterns so am pleased to have the book in my quilting library.
