How to Make an American Quilt Page #6

Do you have any idea

how crazy you've made me?

- Then you shouldn't listen to me.

- It's too late.

The imprint's been made. I'm a mess.

Give it a break. You're not a mess.

And for a 26-year-old...

I was a mess.

At least you know what you want.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do. You're just scared.

Maybe I've been a flake...

...and you want to tie me up

and do a slide show of my crimes.

Fine. But then move on and live your life.

Mom.

What?

Do you like Sam?

Yes.

I do. I like him a lot.

So, why don't you ever tell me?

'Cause it shouldn't matter what I think.

I've been fooling around on him.

Don't be stupid, Finn.

I know. I know.

Don't ever tell him.

What in the world?

Shut the door, Mom!

Finny, here, I found these inside.

I'll help you out here, honey.

I'm never gonna find them all.

I didn't even make a copy.

That's a year and a half of my life, gone.

I hope you're not saying that you're giving up?

Grandma, my notes are everywhere.

I'd have to go back and rewrite it,

reconstruct the whole thing.

I just can't do that.

You think it's easier to start all over again

with something else?

I don't know. Yes.

How nice to be so unattached to something.

- Just stay in your truck, Leon.

- Why?

Because if you don't,

then I'm gonna have to kiss you.

That summer the Grasse Quilting Bee

did something they'd never done before.

Anna called everyone back

and wouldn't let them go home...

... until they finished the quilt.

They all worked 73 straight hours

sustained by Anna's will and gallons of iced tea.

Glady?

Mother!

That's good work.

Quit it.

Thank you.

You know, you're not

as attractive as I thought you were.

Well, thank you.

Did you get the pages that I found in my yard?

- I gave them to your grandma.

- Yeah. Thank you.

They were wrinkled so I ironed them out.

I singed one of the pages.

I think you're only missing a word or two.

Okay. That's fine.

It's really good, what I read so far.

I'd like to read the whole thing

when you're done.

You're a good writer.

Thank you.

I was a diver.

I know.

Finn.

I'm sorry. I'm early.

I was gonna wait until everybody got...

I'll tell you what makes me happy

about marrying Sam.

I know our marriage has

as good a chance of being wonderful...

... as it does of missing the mark.

However, I'm banking on our love for each other

to weigh a bit heavier on the wonderful side.

As Anna says about making a quilt,

"You must choose your combination carefully.

"The right choices will enhance your quilt,

the wrong choices will dull the colors...

"...hide their original beauty.

"There are no rules you can follow.

"You have to go by instinct,

and you have to be brave."
