Moreover, when Waniek decided to write the poem continuously with first person point of view, whilst going over the different periods of time; past, present, and future. She was successful with giving the audience a much stronger grasp to the idea of how Meema’s Indian blanket represents inheritance, for example in lines 9-12, and as mentioned earlier the strong bonds between the family members, and that allowed the reader to be more engaged with the story and find some relations. Furthermore, she showcased how much the quilt means to her and her heritage by talking about it in past tense in the beginning and all the memories she had growing up with it, then continuing to dream about herself under the quilt and how valuable it is, and finally in lines 41-45 she talked about passing it down to her future children and allow the quilt to be inherited by the next generation.
