I have watched parts of this movie more than once. The movie from start to finish only once. Each story unfolds like a facet on the quilt. Then as the main plot line draws to a conclusion, the thread that binds these stories together resolves each individual facet, to complete the whole.
Quilting as I understand it, is bringing many contributions together to create a final product. Each little design tells a story and the master quilter put's these stories together , to convey a theme or message.
I have not read the novel, but the movie conveys the message in it's title.
The soundtrack is tranquil and adds to the mood.
The interplay between Burstyn and Bancroft is a pleasure to watch. Winona is excellent.

Boring
I understand that the film is kind of nice and warm. But it seemed to me so tedious and meaningless that it was just terrible!
The movie consists of simple stories of grannies who tell our heroine, but I loved that one, and we did that...
Almost nothing happens in the film. Yes, there are different stories that differ from each other - but this is for an amateur. I can recommend this movie only to those who want to relax or fall asleep.
For those who just want to watch something for fun, it's not worth it.
In general, it's up to you to decide whether to watch or not. I do not cancel that you may like the movie, but not in my case.
Great cast
A killer cast was assembled to bring this story to life. I enjoyed every performer, especially Kates Capshaw and Nelligan. But the book was better.
