Review created: 07/16/08

The quilting novels by Jennifer Chiaverini are full of quilting tips and stories about quilters and the live change decisions they face. "The Runaway Quilt" is no exception to this. It tells the stories of the first ancestors of Sylvia and how they dealt with their new country and the new customs of America. These individuals live through the great American Civil War and had to deal with slavery, run away slaves and people in a town who were torn between hating slavery and yet having to deal with laws that did not follow their opinions about slavery. Throughout the novel the reader has to deal with their own issues about people of different beliefs and how they dealt with it. I enjoyed the book as I have enjoyed all of Jennifer Chiaverini novels and highly recommend the entire series.

I bought this book because it was one of the series of great quilt books. I don't quilt, but I love quilts. It touches the history of pre-Civil War and the courage of some of the people who helped slaves escape into Canada. This book is my favorite of Chiavarini's quilt books.

I read one of Jennifer Chiaverini's books and just had to purchase the others. I guess you could say I was hooked. I am a quilter and thoroughly enjoyed reading the stories of quilting. The characters are like your own neighbors, relatives and co-workers. I can't wait for another book.

The Runaway Quilt goes back to 1840 thru the Civil War. The anscestors of Sylvia, their friends and trials are told here.

Historically, no runaway quilt has been confirmed, but Jennifer Chiaverini has taken history, woven legends
