Hosted by Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks. This blog hop challenge was to "Create something inspired by the color orange''.
I am proud to be a Canadian, however, we have a nasty history with indigenous peoples. If you would like to read more about the 'Truth and Reconciliation Report of Canada go to Sandra of mmmQuilts blog as she has been explaining the report. The project she has been making inspired me for my blog hop project. Sandra has been making flying geese and some hearts.

I liked what she was doing and I knew what I wanted to make. My heart goes out to the indigenous people and what they have been through, so I knew hearts were going to be in my design. The flying geese in red I was using as a symbol of Canada.

I paper pieced the hearts using 6 different oranges.

Some simple crosshatch quilting, I did a one-inch grid. In the orange border some swirls.
