[CIVIL WAR] Quilt Signed By Veterans

Piecework cotton quilt. 75 x 63 inches.

A beautiful quilt rendered in a zig zag pattern in patriotic colors of red, navy, and white. Every single white piece bears the name of a soldier with their company and regiment. The units and states are diverse including regiments from all branches of service and many states including Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Perhaps it was compiled at a veteran's reunion or by someone serving in a civilian capacity. Other quilts compiled by nurses working with the U.S. Sanitary Commission are known. A rare quilt.
