Makes interesting reading.... it truly makes you wonder -- that with all of the historical accounts about slavery that were written in the first half of the 20th century
-- that there is little or no mention of quilt design being used to guide slaves... why in the
1980's it suddenly becomes such a popular line of thinking. Makes the reading fun and interesting though... and I wonder if there will ever be any documentable proof.Oh well... still fun to read!
