    Very interesting and informative. Thank you for explaining the blocks. As a quilter it's nice to have a meaning for the blocks I create. It gives you something to think about as you sit at the machine sewing.

    I love your channel. You are lovely. I am getting ready to begin a quilting practice. I have always been fascinated with the Underground Railroad and the quilts that signaled the passengers. Can you recommend a book to help me get started with quilting patterns. Thank you so much. 🩵💜💙

    Unfortunately, it's a nice story, but that's all it is--a story. Absolutely NO basis in fact! The whole thing started with one woman who made up a really great tale and fed it to a gullible interviewer. Then it took on a life of its own and exploded. People get very worked up about this--people who believe it is true are fiercely partisan. Others, like me and other quilters who have delved a lot into history, are also very upset that a fairytale has been passed as true. Slaves were also quilters, but the whole idea of a "quilt code" is simplistic and naive. Please don't perpetuate this myth!

      It’s pretty shameful that an organization like this continues to perpetuate what is a tall tale told to sell a book.
