Sherman's March by Bonnie Blue Quilts - This quilt is approx. 82" x 93" and was inspired by "Sherman's March to the Sea", which began in Atlanta and ended in Savannah Georgia where General Sherman presented the city of Savannah as a Christmas present to President Lincoln.  During the march Sherman applied the scorched earth policy of war and ordered his troops to burn fields, kill livestock, destroy train depots, mills and warehouses that lay in his path.  The broken railroad rails that the troops wrapped around tree trunks became known as "Sherman's neckties."

The red path in this quilt represents the fiery path his soldiers took.  The black represents the charred remains of the cities and farms he left behind.
