Welcome to the board. Your quilt is exquisite. I love it because you are creating your ancestral heritage for future generations. I love Native American cultures, be it artistic talent , music, dancing, story telling. I was told in the past that I have Cherokee blood in me and that makes me really proud. Your quilt is beautiful.

Thank you all again for your kind words about my quilt. The black binding on the quilt is now complete too! I hope it will last and teach many generations about both sides of my family heritage for MANY years. ONE reason I made this quilt for my grandchildren is this brief story.----------- Officials sadly destroyed my Tribe on my mothers side of the family during removal acts long ago and forced us to Kansas from NJ. I am a descendant of ONLY 100 Munsee Lenape by way of my Grandfather that survived this removal process. We were once called, "Munsee Lenni-Lenape" of Cranbury, NJ. Once referred to as "Dog By The Fireside" known today as "Wolf Tribe". Now the only tribe that is Government recognized in NJ and Delaware area is the "Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape". We are to this day desperately still trying to get recognition as a real live and thriving tribe like the Nanticoke are. The Munsee survived death and "we are still here".... I'm living proof and this quilt.
