Query: Plowed through the sentimentality

How To Make an American Quilt was NOT a particularly enjoyable read for me, even though some of the sexier chapters appealed...I hated the quilting instructions that used YOU statements directed to married women unlike myself, I was frustrated by the stiff structure of the book and the way that every character had a separate chapter (it's a cop-out way to write!) My grandmother gave it to me for my 12th? birthday and I think HTMAAQ can only be fully appreciated by women of a different era. However, I think Whitney Otto is a talented writer and I liked some parts of the book. It's definitely aimed at a specific type of reader, though, so if you live in a small town where there are quilting circles that meet once a week or if you are a woman over the age of 60, GO FOR IT!
