Underground Railroad blocks

Here's my North Star block which is the penultimate block in this project, the final block being a story to tie all the Underground Railroad quilt together.
North Star...
And my story block...
This came with mini photos of blocks in place but I replaced them with photos of my own blocks I've made to tie everything together. I've really enjoyed this project with my online quilting friends and have acquired some fabric for the back of the quilt which will be perfect so watch this space....but not too closely as I need some time to complete this quilt, and this is a keeper quilt so it's all mine.....

    I love the history behind these quilts. What history! Thanks for your posting.

      Just came across this today I to enjoy all the history behind these designs. I love the history and the stories of families that escaped from slavery.

    Historians have proved this is not true, but based on a story that arose in the 80s. Nothing exists before then and interviews with numerous slave descendants have not come up with anything. I have black friends who also quilt and they pooh-pooh this theory. The stories of code songs are true.

      It is this kind of thinking that made it possible for the slaves to get around the colonizers. I don’t for one second believe you are a friend to anyone of color.

      This person puts this falsehood on many forums. What a sad existence to be full of venom and spite to disparage such an important element of history. The whitewashing is never ending. May that jealous creature crawl back under a rock and let the rest of us learn, grow and unite.

    Do you have a pattern for the story of the Underground Railroad Quilt and for the individual blocks?

    I would like to print this as a full page for my students for a lesson during black history month. Is there a way to do that?

    I would like to know if the Mountain Star or Mountain Star Wedding Ring had a meaning?
