A little about Civil War & Quilts Series: This series will also focus on my family's history. This includes the "Log Cabin" quilt that helped escaped slaves find safe farms and routes to get to the next safe farms. This travel was known as the "Underground Railroad". The "Log Cabin" quilt was hung out to be refreshed in the open air. If it had a dark center, it meant it was safe to go to that farm. Each quilt had hand-sewn stitiching of a map to lead them to the next safe farm, as they traveled the "Underground Railroad".
