Quilt of Belonging

A while ago Dale Hubert recommended me to take a look at a multi-cultural collective creativity project called Quilt of Belonging:

I thought of you as I listened to a radio interview with Esther Bryan. She's a Canadian artist who created the Quilt of Belonging. Since Canada is such a multi-cultural country with citizens from every country in the world, she created this quilt. It's amazing! It has sections from everywhere in the world. Her website allows visitors to view individual pieces and provides a summary of what materials were used and why the design was chosen, as well as information about that country. And the final result is gorgeous!
