Lue, I have sent you a PM. But an answer to your question is: the fabrics used in this quilt weren't designed and made by indigenous people, but by fabric manufacturers who 'copy' the beautiful art works of indigenous people into the fabrics. I love them as they are so colourful and vibrant and tell such amazing visual stories of the indigenous people.
