Quilts Underground Railroad.

What an amazing way to learn our history. I knew they made these quilts and the slaves could follow a trail by reading them. But I didn't realize each block was a code. How amazing and wonderful. If anyone else is interested in this please leave me comments. I would love to have pictures and family history if you have any personal stories. Thanks and God bless.
