The Runaway Quilt

During my volunteer gig at the library, I processed a booked called The Runaway Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini.  It looked interesting so I checked it out.  I just finished reading the book and it was a very good read.


Since my foray into quilting, I thought it would be a mystery similar to the knitting novels.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out how rich the history of quilting is.


"In this fourth novel in the beloved Elm Creek Quilts series, Sylvia Compson searches for evidence of her ancestors' courageous involvement in the Underground Railroad."


I highly recommend the book.  I will now need to do some googling regarding Log Cabin and Birds in Air quilt patterns.
