As soon as I got the book I thoroughly loved thumbing through the pages and reading the meanings of each of the blocks. I absolutely can not wait to get started. I want to make 2 or 3 quilts from this book for my granddaughters to have. I am 1/4 Chippewa Indian and love the stories and pictures of this book as well as the pattern to make this quilt in 2 different ways. Can't wait! I will be retiring in 4 weeks and then the journey will begin.
