What a great time to finish an underground railroad quilt. 5/9/2008 to 2/19/2009 58x62

What better way to keep track of the codes meanings than to add them to the back. I also added other historical data regarding slavery/de-regulation of slavery.

I made this top in April 2007, basted it and quilted a block or two. Then it sat until I got so disgusted that it was time to get it done. 2/15/2009 63x79.5

I quilt I started in a class that got modified so much that it looks nothing like the class quilt. March 2008 to February 11, 2009 52.5 x 72.5

Had pattern pulled for months. Made one block in January as February was just around the corner. It still sat for 4 weeks before I made the other blocks, deciding a wall handing was better than a bed quilt anyway. January 2009 to February 14, 2009 43.5 square

This photo just doesn't give this quilt justice. Should have left the resolution larger. I started this quilt in November 2006 when I did not win the optional blocks at the guild meeting. I already had the book so I made the quilt. February 3, 2009 96.5 square

Displayed at my monthly embroidery club meeting, I went home and tried it out. Need to play with the embroidery placement a bit though. February 12, 2009

Retreat project. Bag is great for gathering up large quantity of items in a compact space. February 20, 2009

I swapped blocks with online Dear Jane group members in November 2008. I was so pleasantly surprised at the workmanship of the blocks returned that I did not want this to become another UFO. See next photo for label on back. 47 x 55.5

The following online members of the Dear Jane group made the blocks in the quilt.
