I sure am interested in the history of the quilt blocks but have become somewhat disillusioned as I read alot about the quilt blocks of old being very instramental in directing slaves to Canada by the pattern, direction of the geese in a quilt, or where the arrows were pointing but have read recently that the black hisorians have no knowledge of such practices by the white folks who wanted to aid the blacks in getting out of the area where they were being enslaved. One article I read was in a Fons & Porter magazine (I think) kinda debunked the old "legends." ??????
