Legend has it that quilts were made with different patterns that told slaves heading North on the Underground Railroad information on the safe houses along the way. One might be a quilt of Flying Geese, and the way it was hung on the line or porch was directional. Google it; you'll find the stories fascinating! I did a sampler. It was my first quilt. I hand-tied it. This is just the top before I quilted it. I think you can see Monkey Wrench (tools here), sailboat (water crossing) Jacobs Ladder, Drunkard's Path, Dresden Plate, etc.
