Then we see Anna alone dancing and swirling with her babushka up in the air. She stands in the left corner, looking down on the ground while other children try to talk to her. When Anna went to school and started learning English, she seems scared in the picture. Some people look happy and are talking with each other.Įverything continues to be black and white except this babushka and later the quilt. Anna sits in the crowd, holding her umbrella, and her face seems to be absent from emotions. Everything is black and white except Anna’s babushka which is bright red. The street looks very crowded with people across two pages who are minding their own business. The story starts when the author’s great grandmother Anna came to America and lived in New York City. The author, who is also the illustrator, used two and six B pencils and acetone markers for the illustrations. It has been made and kept across six generations, along with love growing and time passing. This quilt was made of Uncle Vladimir’s shirt, Aunt Havalah’s nightdress, Aunt Natasha’s apron, neighbor’s flowers and animals from scrap of clothing, great grandmother Anna’s babushka and old dress. The Keeping Quilt tells the story of a handmade quilt and a remarkable family.
