Introducing Follow Me to Freedom
Follow me to Freedom started with 6 inch Underground Railroad blocks in red and white. I wanted an Underground Railroad quilt made with smaller blocks.
I decided to place the blocks in a landscape setting so I pieced a red background and added house blocks and tree blocks. Because I love words in my quilts, I appliqued the words “Follow Me to Freedom” and “Harriet Tubman”. I embellished the houses and trees with buttons, yo-yo’s and silk flowers. My friend Maxine Moore quilted the quilt on her long arm.
