[MassHistPres] Quilt Code

[Jill Fisher]

I'll try this again:
 
Before people start circulating this "information" about the secret codes contained in quilts, you owe it to yourselves to read what an Underground Railroad scholar has to say about it. See:  http://www.antiquequiltdating.com/Hidden_in_Plain_View_-_The_Secret_Story_of_Quilts_and_the_Underground_Railroad.html
 
Or if you simply Google the book's title Hidden in Plain View: A Secret Story of Quilts and the Underground Railroad, you will get at least 3 links on the first page (6th, 9th & 10th) that provide a rebuttal to the premise of this book.
