This quilt zig-zagged to California circa 1900.
It was originally pieced together in this popular pattern in 1850 by Lydia Hayes of Farmington, New Hampshire. Although Lydia never came to California, her quilt made the journey when her sister’s descendants moved west and settled in southern California.
