Bear Claw Quilt - Southern Quilt Trail Association

The Bear Claw quilt square, which dates back to the 1800s, is viewable on the Old Reddick Store in Cuthbert. It is one of the patterns that was part of the underground railroad quilt code. In 2013, Randolph County became a member of The Southern Quilt Trail, which began in Powder Springs, Ga., and continues to grow, particularly along US Hwy 27, now known as the Scenic Hometown Highway. This quilt trail celebrates the quilting heritage, rural lifestyle, and beauty of our country settings and our quilts. It has spread to 44 states and 4,000 buildings to date. The painted squares are placed on structures at least 50 years old, viewable from a paved road and in a location that is well maintained.
