Beckyw asked me to post a picture of the quilt I sent to her from the state of Georgia. The Cherokee Rose is our state flower and commemorates the Cherokee people, the original inhabitants of this area, who were forced to relocate to the west in 1838. According to legend a rose bloomed for every woman's tear that was shed along the "Trail of Tears" which extends from Georgia to Oklahoma. With apologies to "Mother Nature", I have taken a few liberties with color but I don't think anyone will mind :)
