About The Patchwork Quilt
A patchwork quilt begins with remnants, a square cut from a worn shirt, a triangle snipped from a Sunday dress, a strip of fabric too pretty to discard. Piece by piece, block by block, those remnants are stitched into a pattern that tells a quiet story of patience and care. Draped over a bed or folded at the foot of a chair, a finished quilt carries warmth that goes far deeper than batting and thread.

- 3It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
- 4Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
