“American oral tradition states that this quilt design was used along the Underground Railroad. It may have even been used as to help slaves find their way to freedom. However, the use of quilts in the Underground Railroad is an oral tradition which is widely debated among quilt historians.

this quilt was hand stitched using white and black thread.
Light weight- muslin cotton backing.
condition: absolute incredible condition considering its age- no structural damage at all. There is some sun fading.
