"Who would have thought that quilts, quilting – quilters – had so much joy and pain, laughter and tears, so much life, beauty and drama in them?"
— Drama-Logue
"An unqualified success, as bright as the colors used in the quilts themselves."
— Hollywood Reporter
"The script is divided loosely into 16 sections or ‘blocks,’ dealing with such themes as childbirth, school days, windmills, courtship, weddings, country roads, religion and even log cabins. At the start of each section, one of the actresses unfolds a piece of quilting, which incorporates that particular concern into its design."
— Washington Post
"A tender and moving theatre work, a human patchwork rippling in the breeze of memory."
— Newsweek
