What Does Your Quilt Look Like?

Take the time
To make your quilt
Stitch your own life story
Stitch up and down for the good and bad
Use light thread then dark for thick and thin
Make it your own
Spell out your life
Tell all your stories
Make it small
Big
But make it complete
Take the time 
To make your quilt
And stitch your own life story
