Over on my Civil War Quilts blog I did a free Block of the Month pattern in 2014 for a series of original stars called
Threads of Memory.We're on to a new project over there but I thought I would post this page with the addresses for the 12 monthly patterns.
Threads of Memory #2 Mercer County Star
http://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com/2014/02/threads-of-memory-2-mercer-county-star.html For my models I chose these red, black and white stars by Jo who did such a great job of interpreting my designs in graphic fashion.
Threads of Memory #3 New Garden Star
http://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com/2014/03/threads-of-memory-3-new-garden-star-for.html Each block symbolizes a true story about slavery, escape, emancipation and freedom---an accurate form of "Underground Railroad" quilt. The blocks are named after locations important in the history of American slavery. The stories celebrate courageous individuals.
Thanks to Jo for doing such a fabulous set of blocks!
