Bride-to-be Finn Dodd hears tales of romance and sorrow from her elders as they construct a quilt. Finn is a young graduate student, finishing a master's thesis, and preparing for marriage to her fiance Sam. But thoughts of the end of the free life, and a potential summer fling, intrude.
How To Make An American Quilt is the story of eight women living in the small mythical California town of Grasse who meet once a week to quilt. It is through quilting, an American art form, that they express themselves either artistically or narratively, as they stitch together a wedding quilt for the granddaughter of one of the members.
She goes home to her grandmother, where — over the making of her wedding gift by a group of quilting-bee friends — laughter, bickering, love, and advice lead her toward a more open-eyed examination of her course.
She decides to spend the summer with her grandmother and aunt in a very small, California town so she can figure things out. Her grandmother, aunt and their quilting circle get together to make Finn's wedding quilt, and share stories of their past (and current) loves.
