That would be the Underground Railroad. There are books with the quilt blocks from that era. Eleanor Burns has a very good one.
For the Wild West, these books are all about quilts of that time:
Ho for California! Pioneer Women and their quilts by Jean Ray Laury
The Quilt that Walked to Golden, Women and their quilts in the mountain west by Sandra Dallas
