A lovely quilt story that includes a pattern for the quilt., August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: TheTortillaQuilt(englishandspanishedition) (Paperback)
The Tortilla Quilt is a well told story of how a little girl came to make a quilt. She not only learned the mechanics of quilt making, but found out why quilts are so special as she and her friend cut pieces of fabric from the dresses they had outgrown. She loved the quilt so much when it was done, that she wanted to share that love with her grandmother and gave her the quilt as a gift. Through her generosity she learned that a quilt can bring you even more joy when you share it.
The folk-art illustrations by Jane Tenorio-Coscarelli are as delightful as her quilting. At the end of the book there is a recipe for her grandmother's tortillas and a pattern for the nine-piece quilt that appeared in the story. Also, scattered throughout the story are Spanish interpretations - not for the whole story, but for random words.
