The design is an old one from the underground railroad or before (used in the underground rail road quilts) but I converted the pattern to a foundation paper pieced one.

Have you seen "the Quiltmakers of Gee's Bend"? Not sure it's spelled right but you might be able to find it at the local library. Very good documentary.

No I haven't
Found it at our Public Library might be at yours. It was on PBS and you might find it on line.

I'll look for it, bet Gary can find it on the internet tv
I googled the quilts. There were several I absolutely loved. The one that was made from work clothes of the deceased husband brought tears to my eyes. Such a story of love going into that quilt.

I have a memory quilt I am working on now, it is called "Mom's Garden Under the Stars" it is made from 2 swaps a quilt swap of blue and yellow stars, and a crochet swap of flower squares I've added to. I have included a square w/ a red butterfly (color of stroke awareness) for my mother who died of complications of stroke, a purple broken heart (the color for alzhiemers awareness) for my Gma, and a burgundy cancer awareness ribbon the color of multiple myloma for my MIL.
It's not finished, but getting there.

Got all my large circles done, now just have to do the white. All the small ones have been done for a while. Even a couple extras. I figure if I get one set done then the rest are just gravy.
