Definitely my least favorite of all the Elm Creek books. While I enjoy the writing immensely I really didn't see the point in jumping 20 years ahead when there were still so many stories to be told.

I've read all the previous books and loved getting to know the characters, but jumping into the future then backtracking to tell a synopsis of each character's life over the past 20 years was frustrating and mind boggling trying to r

While I have enjoyed all the books in the Elm Creek Quilts series, The Wedding Quilt was not one of my favorites.

A lovely book for the series. Light and easy to read. Lots of special tidbits about the beloved characters in the series.
As always the Elm Creek nvel didnt dissapoint.
