This is a great quilt for the history enthusiast. The name refers to one of the most pivotal battles of the American Revolutionary War. In 1777, the British tried to take control of strategic ground on the Hudson River. The approximately 6,200 soldiers, led by British General John Burgoyne, were surrounded by American troops, who forced them to surrender near Albany, New York, marking a major turning point in the war. In this eponymous quilt, the British are represented by the large, center squares, and the surrounding smaller squares represent the American forces.
