Gathering at their childhood island home off the coast of Georgia, four sisters meet to create a family quilt to honor their recently deceased mother.  When their reunion turns into a reading of their mother's will, everyone must grapple with a troubling inheritance.  Stitched with history, ritual, laughter and tears, will their “blood quilt” bind the family together or tear them apart forever?  THE BLOOD QUILT had its premiere at Arena Stage in Washington, DC.
