The Quilting

I give this episode 10 stars for its heartwarming and heartfelt ending!

I appreciate the concept that Mary Ellen is the younger generation and rejects the old quilting tradition because she doesn't want to get married off.

In my younger days I would have stood beside her, but watching this episode with over-40 eyes made me want to slap some sense into her (and made me glad to realize I don't see things the same way I did when I was younger!).

I was relieved when John-Boy provided a stern lecture and talked some sense into Mary Ellen, even though I think it should have come from the parents.

In the end it all works out and makes for a nice growing-up story with a happy, heartfelt ending!
