Answer: The correct answer is: The author metaphorically describes quilts as weapons against strong winds in January. And she writes to remember and reimagine stories about her and her family. The author tries to give life to the quilt. She describes the daily routine of waking up under a quilt of many colors, the speaker begins to remember how the quilt felt since the sense of touch is very important for memory, uses the word faces to describe each fabric frame. The quilt had pieces of cloth that had a nostalgic meaning as first communion dresses, wedding dresses and sleepwear among others, the movement of the needle when sewing reminded the speaker of a galloping horse, each piece of cloth that the mother joins brings a different memory to the speaker. The mother cut each piece of cloth thinking of colors that combined and were according to some memory such as holidays, Corpus Christi, the seasons, the day of her wedding, but also brought back sad moments and therefore added a piece of dressed in a funeral and turned it into a black star. The conclusion is that what holds together all these pieces of cloth that represent various memories is love.
