Lakota Star Quilt (aka Lone Star) - first star quilt!
#26
The Lakota Star is another name for the Lone star pattern. It's given for ceremonies and at giveaways in several different tribal traditions. We're both from South Dakota and my cousin has been a teacher on reservations for over 25 years. I did lots of research on the quilt's significance before I started and it was fascinating!

I have seen the statue! My cousin was there at Christmas time and took tons of pics.
If anyone is interested a great historic read about quilts I recommend:

The quilt is also called the Morning Star.
Thanks for all the nice comments!
