Piecing Together Our Lives: Like a quilt, our lives are pieced together with memories, stories, and experiences. Sometimes, our lives are designed and planned, all the colors and patterns match well. At other times, our lives resemble crazy quilts, pieced together from the remaining scraps. The Patchwork Path books capture our stories to preserve them for future generations.
