This block, from the Reconciliation Quilt, shows a square design with a geometric, mariner's star in the center with maple leaves and buds against the border. 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
