Done-done

Taking a final look at this one,

with the quilting and binding now finished. 

I'm invoking Barbara Brackman's Poetic License here ~

our shop will be running an

Underground Railroad/If Quilts Could Talk

Civil War repro sew-along series
beginning in a few weeks,
 and I made this as an example of a talking quilt.

 I understand that the whole idea is folklore rather than historic fact, and that it is unlikely/unproven that talking quilts were used to
communicate to runaway slaves. 

So with that being said, this quilt illustrates a pretend hidden message which might say:

'MEET AT THE CROSSROADS AT MIDNIGHT'

Red border strips mean "important message", crossroads blocks are eponymous, and dark navy centers say "midnight"
