This quilt is the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It represents the existing ties between Mexico and the United States of North America (USA) due to the faith and devotion of the Mexicans living in this country.

The Virgin is also called the patron saint of the Americas or the patron saint of the world. With her help, the ties between the U.S. and Mexico will become stronger.

She protects us on our journey to the U.S. from Mexico.
