Description: "In 1857 the women of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Salt Lake City 14th Ward produced a quilt that was raffled off to raise money for various Mormon charitable enterprises, including the Perpetual Immigrating Fund. One hundred and thirty years later, Carol Nielson and her husband inherited that quilt - half the quilt, to be precise. Thus began a journey to find the quilt's other half and to find out more about the women whose legacy Nielson had - both literally and figuratively - inherited."--BOOK JACKET.
