-The quilt had 299 separate pieces of fabric, made into 11 panels. Broken vertical strips separated each panel. In West African design, unbroken lines were meant to startle spirits and keep evil from \"moving in straight lines.\" The panels themselves depicted Bible Stories, like the story of Jacob from the spiritual \"We Are Climbing Jacob\'s Ladder,\" which was a popular Bible story with slaves since they related with the hunted, homeless Jacob, the ladder representing escape from slavery. The other subjects are Adam and Eve, Eve and her son in a continuance of Paradise, Satan among the seven stars, Cain killing Abel, Cain going into the land Nod for a wife, Job, Jonah and the Whale, the baptism of Christ, the crucifixion, Judas Iscariot and the thirty pieces of silver, the Last Supper, and the Holy Family, Christ\'s ascension to Heaven.
