Sat down yesterday to read the last 1/4 of the book even though my to-do list wasn't complete. I used an early due date back at the library as my excuse.

Chiaverini is getting better at writing historical novels. I felt this one was her best historical novel in the series, but I still prefer the ones set in the present. Hopefully the next book will be set in the present time period!

The story didn't contain much quilting, which is why I read this series; I want to be inspired to quilt more, to try more techniques and patterns. The block patterns on the inside of the cover are really pretty, but since this is a library copy, I won't be able to do anything with them. It was still worth the read and I'm glad I was able to put a hold on a copy early enough to get first dibs once the library processed it into the system.
