A quilt can become a storybook used to record an historical world event or to cover a more personal journey such as a birth or wedding.

The art of quilting has a checkered past that can trace its origin to the ancient world. From medieval Europe to the early days of America, quilting kits were basically quilt blocks of fabric saved and reused for handmade coverings. Quilt making has been dated as far back as the ancient Egyptians. The earliest surviving quilt from around the First century BC was discovered in a Mongolian cave.

Quilting blocks have often been used to commemorate political events throughout history. For example, in 1846, quilting squares were designed referring to the boundary dispute between Canada and the US, a block which referred to a Revolutionary War defeat in battle, the Lincoln Log Cabin quilt patterns in honor of President Lincoln, and the Jacob’s Ladder block also known as the Underground Railroad to honor the brave passengers and conductors of the Underground Railroad.
