The Patchwork Quilt

This is a beautiful story about the bond shared between Tanya and her grandmother as they talk about each piece of fabric that is cut and stitched together as part of a quilt of memories. After her grandmother gets sick, Tanya decides to help her by finishing the patchwork quilt. Eventually the whole family comes together to complete the masterpiece.
