This block, from the Reconciliation Quilt, shows a basket of fruit, with clovers on the handle. There are flower buds, in the upper corners and what appears as washboards at its side. 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
