I have this one done by my great grandmother in blue and white from the mid 1800s. I spotted the same blue and white fabric in a quilt fragment in a museum in TX dating from the early days of the Republic of Texas. I believe mine was done in Missouri and brought to Oregon Territory when my great grandmother married my great grandfather.
Yes...I was wondering if the ‘Surrounded’ pattern had already existed and was renamed, or it had been created after the battle. Thanks for the info about the quilts and the communication purpose (aside from keeping us warm) served by them.
