I think they are best read in order. They do continue a story line and you'll want to know the character information and history from the prior books....IMHO.

I'm on the Runaway Quilt right now, it's sitting by my bedside waiting for me tonight, I may be able to finish it off tonight if I don't get too sleepy.

I've been enjoying them. My friend I think has the whole series and she's lent them to me so I'm going through them now.

I think The Lost Quilter is my favorite also.

do not have a favorite......love to read them because it is like catching up with old friends..... the particular character that was the main theme of the Aloha quilt is not my favorite character.....there are times i want to take her arm and say wake up, you are....well nevermind about that. The discriptions, the writing, it is like you are there, especially on the zip line...wowie/kazowie! It is true the endings are mellow and just leave you wanting to know more and waiting for the next letter from ..........

I've read 6 or 7 of them. Enjoyed the first few books but the last one I read spent most of the book reviewing the previous books and what happened to each character. Wasn't worth the price of the book or the time I could have used to work on my quilt! Don't think I'll be buying any more.

I love these books! Am reading the Uniion Quilters also and am looking forward to the new one in November. These books are refreshing. No violence or sex, just a wonderful group of friends who share the same passion...quilting. :D
