You have done a magnificent job! It's good that you are preserving your culture through this quilt. It means more than you realize at this time. i like that you designed each block. I think this is a good idea as a quilter. It means that you are expressing what's in your heart and not always using someone else's design. My first quilt was a Queen-size Ohio Star. A friend asked why I chose a pattern with so many pieces. It never occurred to me that this was a lot for a beginner. I hand-pieced and hand-quilted it!! I guess it's good when you choose something and just go for it.
