Quilt Codes to Freedom: Fact or Folklore? - Four classes of 3rd graders studied about slavery and the Underground Railway. Mrs. Young traced the blocks onto freezer paper backed fabric and taped them down so the students could color them after their lesson. The blocks were heat set and the quilt top constructed by Mrs. Young, School Counelor. Virginia Longarm Quilters completed the quilting for the 148 x 44 quilt which will be displayed in the school. This project was started many months ago and completed for Black History Month.
