Sioux star quilts


This summer I had the opportunity to take a road trip through the great plains, stopping in small towns along the way to camp and explore. Many towns we went through were reservation towns and for-sale were these amazing star quilts made by Sioux women. I was struck by their graphic quality and how much they reminded me of Nordic patterns. These are my interpretations of the traditional design.
