Why might the analogy of a quilt have seemed fitting at a time that the nation was suffering from a great trauma

A quilt of a country was written when the nation suffered 9/11 attacks.

Explanation:

Americans suffered a significant amount of trauma when the world trade center came under attack and many lost their family members and friends. ' A Quilt of a Country' by Anna Quindlen portrayed that despite the diversity that breeds problems in America, it also acts as a tribute to what makes America a special place. The commentary also focuses on patriotism.
