It’s moving day, and Cassie is helping her grandparents, Gigi and Pops, sort through the attic. Among the dusty boxes, Cassie discovers a collection of Gigi’s quilts, each one a patchwork of stories and adventures waiting to be told. Inspired, Cassie weaves her own tales, transforming the attic into magical worlds while Gigi and Pops join in, sharing laughter and memories stitched into every quilt.
