Sister's Choice

In Alice Walker's novel, "The Color Purple," Celie demonstrates a strong commitment to sisterly love through her quilt making. The art of quilt-making is representative of the ties that Celie builds with other women and how they are connected to one another, though they may be different. Using the patten "Sister's Choice" truly signifies the connection between sisterhood and quilting in the story. Ultimately, it is Celie's love of quilting and, by extension, her commitment to sisterhood that gives her strength.
