Summary
Details

If you are a beginner wanting to make a quilt you can be proud of and can show to others with pride, this is for you. The quilt pattern is for a 40 in. by 60 in. lap quilt that should fit just about everyone. You get a list of supplies necessary for making the quilt and some that make quilting a little easier and are fun to use.

Also included is a short history of quilting from colonial days up to now.

UNDERGROUND RAILROAD QUILT HISTORY

Some scholars say the underground railroad quilt is a myth because there is no documentation about it. Others say it was a way for the enslaved escapees to find help along their way north to freedom. Each block had a different meaning giving directions on which way to go and where food, and clean clothing could be obtained.

This gives you the opportunity to decide if you think the Underground Railroad Quilt is a myth or true facts.
