Carl, I was waiting For a special time,

And I think This is the time.

This quilt...

Was started By your great, Great, great,

Great-grandmother Amy rose.

That's six Generations back,

Even before The civil war.

Amy rose wanted a record Of our family

In one place.

It was To be passed down

From generation To generation.

Each adding Something special to it.

Each piece of cloth Has a special meaning.

This was a piece

Of your great-aunt's Wedding dress, right, ma?

That's right.

And this...

Is amy rose's dress

That she wore to church Every sunday morning.

What's this, grandma?

That's a piece Of my daddy's uniform

That he wore in france In world war I.

Wow.

Where's Your special patch, Mother winslow?

Oh, I don't Have one yet, honey.

The tradition is That the eldest daughter

Sews on the patch After you've passed on.

But you don't have Any daughters, mother winslow.

That's true.

But I'd be so proud

To pass it on to you, Harriette.

Thank you, Mother winslow.

You know, I think I know The perfect place

To keep this quilt.

Where's that?

In laura's room.
