Quilt of Belonging

The Quilt of Belonging is a giant quilt (the most comprehensive textile project in Canada) that has 263 squares, each one representing the unique cultural background of the artist. Represented are 71 Aboriginal groups and 192 immigrant nationalities in Canada (you can also search and view parts of it here). Even the materials used for the squares differ, like sealskin or wings of butterflies. Very cool!
