This blanket has been mine for many years- probably 55 or more. I had it in middle school and used it in college. After moving away, the blanket covered the beds in my parent’s home. Upon their passing, I brought the blanket to my house as I could not give it away—until now. My twin sister had a similar blanket only in a different color. I can part with my treasured blanket as I know it will have a good home, and the colors remind me of Native Americans.
