Ruth's Underground Railroad Quilts

Ruth decided to make the 2 quilts in the 2 sizes, twin and minature using the 12 inch pattern and the six inch pattern. They both turned out great! They are based on Eleanor Burns's quilt book called the Underground Railroad Sampler quilt and each block had a special meaning concerning the Underground Railroad. Wonderful quilts!
Each block has a story behind it.

The twin size. The red bear paw is great!











Here is the small version of the quilt. It has 12 six inch blocks and those small pieces are hard to work with! I love the green sashing!
