From the artist:
	It is the Traditional Indian Star Blanket (plus). The traditional part is the 7 pieces between the corners of the points. The plus part is the 7-point star which has a Thunder-bird incorporated inside the Star. The Indian Star Blanket is usually an 8-pointed star, which is easier to make than the 7-pointed star.
