Quaker Quilt Fragment

from $25.00

This piece of unfinished quilt was gifted to Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House by a descendant of the Gillingham family. Chalkey Gillingham and Jacob Troth purchased the Woodlawn property in 1848, turning it into a successful Quaker and Free Black community. Quiltmaking has been associated with Quaker women throughout history and quilts were made for both practical uses as well as a way for individuals to connect to their religion or share their views.
