This is my favorite book so far in the series--it centers on the Sylvia Bergstrom character. As a bonus, there is historical information about Sylvia's family, especially her mother, Eleanor, creating a very interesting backstory. It's kind of like two books in one, the history stretching from 1899-1927, and present day Sylvia at Elm Creek Manor. When Sylvia resolves to discover the fate of five of her mother's best quilts, recently discovered missing from the attic, Sarah helps her start an Internet search. If only she had known more about her mother's childhood--things Eleanor never discussed--things about quiltmaking, nannies, and life in a wealthy family. Sylvia wants to bring full circle her life at Elm Creek by reconstructing the past as much as possible, and by constructing her own future with Andrew, Sarah and Matt, and her many other friends. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Following on shortly after book #4 (the Runaway Quilt), this continues to focus on Sylvia and her investigating her family's past. Sylvia and Andrew are now engaged, and Sylvia is shocked and disappointed to find that her estranged sister sold off all their mother's quilts before she died. In a desire to have her mother's wedding quilt for when she and Andrew get married, she starts searching for them to mixed success. The book interweaves chapters between Sylvia and her mother, a supposedly sickly woman who elopes with one of the Bergstrom men.
Once again this book combines a lot about Quilt history and the difficulty attributing quilts to specific people (especially when the pattern has been published in a magazine and the quilter doesn't name and date the quilt). Family relations continue to run through the book, especially of those between mothers and daughters.
Some threads are left open for the subsequent books. One thing that I wasnt convinced by was Andrew's children's objections to the marriage - Amy in particular seemed to object to it over much on what seems to be a fairly flimsy excuse - Sylvia being 7 years older than their father and already having had an excuse, they object cos they dont "want her to be a burden when she gets sick again".
