"It will be like heaving the family in backhome Russia dance around us at night. And so it was. From a basket of old clothes, Anna's babushka, Uncle Vladimir's shirt, Aunt Havalah's nightdress and an apron of Aunt Natasha's become The Keeping Quilt, passed along from mother to daughter for almost a century. For four generations the quilt is a Sabbath tablecloth, a wedding canopy, and a blanket that welcomes babies warmly into the world. In strongly moving pictures that are as heartwarming as they are real, patricia Polacco tells the story of her own family, and the quilt that remains a symbol of their enduring love and faith. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - And happily my class is obsessed with this!This is truly a touching story about family and culture and change in the form of a Russian quilt that is passed down from mother to daughter for several generations, each generation changing slightly with a changing world. The art is lovely, black and white with only the quilt colored. Rating:  - Family TiesThis is a wonderful story about how a family keeps their history alive in a new country. Rating: - The importance of Family quiltsThis is a beautiful family story which encompasses many generations of growing up, coming to America and watching how customs change as new experiences are learned. A favorite dress and shawl are made into a quilt by elders in the family after the clothing is outgrown. This quilt becomes a family heirloom and is used over and over again as a wedding canopy, as a tablecloth, a picnic spread, a wrap for new babies and I'm certain for many other usages. When something is made with love of things ... Read More Rating: - Why didn't I know about this book?A friend showed me her copy of this book and I immediately ordered four copies. Every quilter should have a copy and I would love to see every child have one too. (It's a great gift!) What a beautiful family story! One thing I really like is that the illustrations are of real people. Rating:  - GET THE HARDBACK. THE PAPERBACK IS CONDENSEDThis book is wonderful for the many reasons listed. I first found it at the library in hardback and my daughter and I love it. When I ordered the paperback for her own copy, we realized that the paperback ends 5 or 6 pages short. It fails to discuss Patricia's own family.
