Star Quilts
The star quilt is a sacred blanket. We give star quilts at memorials and to honor people at powwows when people dance. People make star quilts with sewing thread, and needles. They sew diamonds together. They put the quilt on a frame and quilt it by hand, or on a machine. The Milky Way is called the "Pathway of Departed Souls." Some people give them away at funerals. Here are some samples of Star Quilts.
