I haven't seen the movie but there is also a live theatrical production called The Quilters which may be the same story. Several of my family are involved in the entertainment field. My youngest daughter directed this play several years ago and used some of our family quilts in the production.

And why was her boyfriend down that dirt road, why didn't he park in the driveway and sleep in the van there or better yet on the couch on the opened front porch?

Actually, that's what is so cool about the Pieces of an American Quilt book. It tells all about how the movie was made, and the real quilters who worked on the quilts and consulted on the movie, and all the "behind the scenes" stories. If you like the movie, you gotta read the book.
I just checked on Amazon, and there are used ones for as little as a couple of bucks.

At the end Finn is walking with her newly quilted quilt that the Grass Quilters stayed up all night to finish for her and she is draging it along the ground and you can see it getting filthy. The first time I saw it I believe the words came out of my mouth not just thought in my head "PICK UP THE QUILT!!!!!!!!"
