Susan Robb’s quilt, featured in Bets Ramsey and Merikay Waldvogel’s Southern Quilts: Surviving Relics of the Civil War, depicts two columns of soldiers, one led by the first Confederate National Flag and the other carrying the Confederate Battle Flag. Perhaps Susan meant to represent her step-sons, Aaron and Thomas, who fought in Confederate regiments. Image Courtesy of the Museum of Texas Tech University
