About This Item

Description of Item

This quilt titled: Butternut & Blue, measuring 29" x 46". On her blog site Sylvia writes: I made this piece several years ago when this country seemed to be in turmoil with opinions flying both pro and con—once again–or did we ever get to a place where we were all united? This is an image of two former classmates at West Point, George Armstrong Custer and James Washington. Before the Civil War broke out they might have participated in ‘war games’ and sat just like this–who can tell who the prisoner is and who is the captor? Their life (on the left) was orderly and predictable. Then life became chaotic and now they are enemies—but exactly what is the difference between captor and prisoner?
