Reading Inspired Quilting

I really enjoyed the latest Louise Erdrich's book, which is set in Minneapolis on the site of the book store she owns, commenting on prejudice, the injustice of policing and justice in America, that black and brown lives matter, the importance of supporting civil rights for all people, and the joy that books and reading can bring to your life.

I also loved the cover art, with a riff on the pin wheel quilt, and the use of simple primary colors, so I went to my fabric collection, and started this quilt to recapitulate it. At this point I am planning to skip the beading, but I love that too.
