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
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
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.
