Tumbling Blocks

The quilting scenes add such warmth to the story, but I wonder if that was planned from the start or developed as a way to deepen character relationships.

The community dynamics really made me root for the characters, but also made the stakes feel closer to home. Does this make the mystery more impactful for others?

It’s such a unique twist for a mystery novel — I’d love to know what sparked the idea to weave quilting into the narrative this way.
