    I was very confused. I really thought this had to do with a quilt

    I’m excited to see how this grows over time. Will it travel, be displayed in exhibitions, or be digitized for global access? That would make it truly impactful.

    I think initiatives like this are exactly what the Commonwealth needs right now. Too often we focus on politics and economics, but celebrating shared heritage and stories brings people closer in a way that no summit or agreement can.
