The Flying Geese Quilt has a rich historical significance that dates
back to the early days of American colonization. This traditional
quilt pattern features triangular pieces resembling a flock of geese
flying in formation, symbolizing freedom and migration.
During the Great Migration in the 19th century, many families
traveled westward in search of new opportunities and a better life.
Quilts were an essential part of their journey, providing warmth and
comfort during long nights on the trail. The Flying Geese pattern was
especially popular among pioneer women, who often stitched these
quilts by hand as a way to pass the time and create a sense of home
amidst their uncertain surroundings.

Geese Quilt not only represents the physical journey of our
