Tongan Cemetery Quilts

I am waaay behind in my blogging and really plan to catch up over the holidays (yes really!). But in the meantime I now have these photographs of the unique Tongan cemetery quilts that my sister took on her recent trip to Tonga to oversee their first elections.

These quilts are made by the deceased person’s loved ones and are extremely individual – I imagine as individual as each person during their lives.

And here are just some of them:
