About the image
What you'll be solving
The quilt has forty blocks. They picture 1860s home life and public happenings. At its center, a three-panel appliqué shows the maker's Brooklyn, New York farm. Two blocks mark what she treated as important post-Civil War reconciliation events: the freeing of former Confederate president Jefferson Davis and voting rights for freed slaves.
