From a sampler album
Polak Collection in Amsterdam
If you are looking for more blocks for your Ladies' Aid Album
consider a Union shield from a New York sampler.
Julie Silber & Jane Lurie's inventory.
They think New York.
Dated 1867
Many of these Union symbols are in post-war quilts.
Sampler from Brooklyn & Newark
Garth's Auction
From the New Jersey project and the Quilt Index
Martha Meeker's has seen better days but I like the way she used
the stars to link the blocks.
Online auction: "A.M.C?"

And a monumental example, 83" x 74", from Knoxville's Case Antiques auction.
