• The woman hanging and beating the quilt was a signal to runaway slaves to be careful because there were slave catchers watching.

• The woman hanging and beating the quilt was a signal to runaway slaves that it was safe to come to the home.

• The woman needed to hang and beat the quilt so that the runaway slaves would have something to use to sleep.
