In this episode of Cowboy Logic, I’m sharing the story of a quilt that’s been passed down through three generations of women in my family. It isn’t pretty in the traditional sense — the colors clash, the patches are uneven, and time has worn it thin. But every single piece came from clothing one of my grandmother’s ten children once wore.This quilt holds their lives, their memories, and their mother’s love stitched right into it.As I talk through its history, I reflect on how writing feels the same to me — taking mismatched pieces of joy, pain, grief, hope, and love and sewing them together into something real. Something that lasts.This episode is about legacy, family, imperfection, and the beauty that lives in things made with love.My quilt logic:The pieces don’t have to match. They just have to tell the truth.
