In 2006, quilt artists from across the United States created art quilts exploring the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos.
Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of loved ones who have passed on.
The quilts explored the many facets of this moving holiday and the important role it plays in our lives.
