Threads of Memory: Free Patterns For An Underground Railroad Quilt

 

Becky Brown

Threads of Memory Block # 8 

Jacksonville Star

We did a Block-of-the-Month series here in 2014 to offer an accurate pieced quilt design for stitchers interested in making a quilt to remember the Underground Railroad and American slavery.

Jean Stanclift

Threads of Memory Block #3

New Garden Star

Becky and Jean made two very different models.

And readers followed their own muses

Cathy at the St. Augustine Quilters

And Pat's

Here are free patterns as published 10 years ago or so.

Print on 8-1/2" x 11" sheets.

Scroll down for links to the stories for each.

 Do note the inch-square guide in the patterns with templates and if 

it's not accurate adjust your printer interface so

your templates print the correct size.
