Underground RR Quilt Block

[Kassaundra]

Just got home this afternoon. I was able to go to a local poultry show over the weekend. Had fun but it's the first time I've been able to go for several years and this year is the first time my daughter did not go with me. She's busy doing her own thing these days and so I have to learn how to make friends.

I actually got my RR blocks on Thursday but hadn't had time to post. The bow tie one, I will likely rework as it won't lay down correctly. I'll have to look up somewhere and see if I can find instructions for it.

Thank you too for the nail file! It is so cute! Nice and small and will fit in my small purse and hopefully keep me from picking my nails to the quick if I get a small defect in an edge!

Regarding my block, the dark center does represent the darkness of slavery but the appliqued part does not. It represents something hidden from prying eyes and I just thought it would be fun to see if you ladies could figure out what that "starfish" represents. Any guesses?

Hope?

katsdar I think that Anna6 is out of town and can't get to her mail. I know kassaundra photo will help her . These blocks look the best of all we have done! at least of the ones I have been in.
I got one of the small ones and reworked it too I hope you don't mind

I used the red fabric from my block and reset the bow tie on to that.
I can see how you had trouble with that design of the block, I had to got back to my many years of dressmaking to get it to lay right, usually that site has easier blocks But Not That One

I don't mind at all sorry I goofed up on this one

Hope?

the star fish represents the Virgin Mary right?

the sand dollar represents the story of Jesus

Nope.

It's nothing religious.

I made it the shape that it is because to put in more detail might alert the "master" as to what was going on... messages in quilt blocks... if he were to see it.

Keep trying.

It is pointing as to which direction to take?
