This block, from the Reconciliation Quilt, shows a soldier returnsing home, from the war, proudly flying the American Flag, with leaves on each 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
