I almost gave up on this one. I was about 40% through the book before it really got interesting. The author spent a lot of time setting up the characters and the backstory, and it was disjointed and not very interesting at all. That said, I'm glad that I pushed through that part, because the last part of the book was considerably more interesting. There was a mystery to solve and the characters interweave in such a way that you're not sure how the whole thing will play out. I found the premise interesting - you don't see many Amish books where the family dynamics are like this one - and liked the themes of acceptance and letting go.

A sweet and thoughtful Amish story, with a touch of romance, a touch of mystery, and a touch of sadness and illness. The main character is Linda, who as the title implies is a quilter. She is so rigid in how everyone should fit into a tight box of right and wrong, and she has not time for the all the messy parts of life. Completely ignoring that the messy parts is what life is all about. At times I got frustrated with her, and her dismissal of Isaac, when she discovered his past. Obviously a HEA at the end, and when it was reached it felt right. I had to keep reminding myself how young she was, and a lot of her views reflected that well. Good story, and one I highly recommend. The mystery of her family's past was a great plot line, that added well with the romance.
