Audience Member there is beauty in the patterns of life, you just have to look for it Wynona Ryder is Finn Dodder; as a little girl she spent many summers in a quilting bee with her grandmother and her friends her parents separated after falling out of love these days she's getting her masters degree in writing a thesis about quilting, is about to be married to man named Sam (Dermont Mulroney) but she's becoming unsure about it all perhaps figuring all this out can come from the ladies making the quilts consisting of Ellen Burstyn, Alfre Woodard, Anne Bancroft, and Kate Nelligan who knows maybe their experience and wisdom with the subject of love can help put her at ease sometimes love simply dies, how to do we know we're only supposed to be with one person in our lives?, young lovers seek perfection, old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of patches, is the hardest part of being a woman having other woman friends or is it trying to be friends with a man?, are we meant to do foolish things when we’re young then later end up regretting them or feeling like we missed out on so much not acting foolish enough?, you have to be careful how you sew your quilt together in life The movie is conventional but filled with good characters flashing back to their stories of how love either enriched their lives or ruined them. Director Jocelyn Moorhouse makes a romance drama full of top of the line female talents each sharing their tough look at love albeit the storytelling isn’t exactly streamlined. But the wonderful acting by them and Ryder combined with a touching score sews enough of the good parts together. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review S R An interesting movie that kept me entertained. However, I did struggle with remembering all the characters at times. Also, the values taught were misleading for youth, especially girls. It still wove an interesting quilt of a story. It was on Amazon.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/22 Full Review Audience Member Que bonitinho, literalmente uma colcha de retalhos, com as histórias e dramas das senhoras entrecortadas e entrelaçadas umas as outras... Aquele linda cena do vendaval, folhas do manuscrito ao vento, e tudo de resolvendo ao final, todas as mágoas perdoadas, poético, sensível, sincero,. emocionante e lindo...
