Underground Railroad Sampler
As other reviewers have mentioned, the historical accuracy of quilts as code on the Underground Railroad is questionable. (And the authors simply mention that the book and patterns are inspired by Ozella McDaniel Williams' story, they make no claim to the book being factual).
I checked this book out because I am pondering making a Civil War quilt, and wanted to get some fabric ideas. (The authors also include alternate fabric choices for the blocks - like Depression Era fabrics that are much brighter)
I'm not ready to begin, but I am very glad I looked through this book.
(I have often overlooked Eleanor Burns' books with the mistaken idea that she has been around so long that her techniques would be outdated - I couldn't have been more wrong, and I won't be making that mistake again.)
I will check this book out again for Eleanor Burns' tips and techniques, especially when I finally start a Drunkard's Path. She uses a circle applique technique, and then cuts the block into quarters. Brilliant!
