Underground Railroad Quilt Top
#82
Patty,
This quilt was my first attempt other than a nine patch and friendship star combo in my avatar pic. I loved the challenge and I really enjoyed learning how to make the different blocks. If I could do it, so can you.
Blessings to you,
Sandi

Right now the quilt top is hanging on one of our living room walls. Hubby decided he wanted it hung there before I could actually put the batting and backing together. I guess that is a good thing as we just booked a space for the Antique/Craft Show here next month. We have used that quilt top as a background behind us. It does draw attention and it has sparked many a conversation during the 'Shows' we have been a part of.
When it comes time to quilt it, I do think I will machine quilt it.
Blessings,
Sandi

Very nice. There is a novel with the Underground Railroad theme from the Elm Creek Quilts series by Jennifer Chiavierni. It too brings out the questions of validity to this theory. No conclusions were drawn.

Its a real beauty I love it Dera - you did a wonderful job. I like your DH adore anything CW related.
I purchased E Burns book about 2 years ago & still haven't attempted to make any of the blocks, however I did do the Pioneer BOM here on the board about 12 months ago. I am now in the process of pulling it all together with borders & sashings.
If you want to see a pictures of all of my blocks just give me a nudge.

Hello Tisha,
Here's your nudge. I would love to see all your blocks. I love the Pioneer BOM. I have several quilt books with different Sampler blocks I want to do.
Blessings to you,
Sandi
