This design was inspired by the center section of the Reconciliation Quilt. I offer a smaller version, The Homestead, inspired by the same quilt. The original Reconciliation Quilt, by Lucinda Ward Honstain, dated Nov. 18th 1867 is one of the most extraordinary pictorial album quilts known. It depicts events and life of the Union after the Civil War. Photo: International Quilt Museum; Accession Number: 2001.11.0001
