Just have to share about the URRQ. Our daughter-in-law had a college class requirement to do a poster for her Social Studies Class. Several girls went together and decided on the Underground Railroad (URRQ) for their project. She asked me for some fabric to put on the poster and I told her I would just make some quilt blocks. I made the various URRQ blocks (about 7" square) and typed up what each block represented on a little tag and mailed them to her--their poster won first place and she "aced the course." Of course, they had a lot of the story to go along with the blocks. I love the story and also believe it to be true.
