“How much piecin’ a quilt’s like livin’ a life… The Lord sends us the pieces, but we can cut ’em out and put ’em together pretty much to suit ourselves, and there’s a heap more in the cuttin’ out and sewin’ than there is in the calico. The same sort o’ things comes into all our lives, just as the Apostle says, There hath no trouble taken you but is common to all men.”

Aunt Jane of Kentucky circa 1900
