As part of our celebration of African American History Month we discussed how quilt squares were used to help people navigate the Underground Railroad. The different squares were symbols that served as reminders. For example, the Flying Geese square was a reminder to follow the geese that would be flying north in the springtime and would not be far from water. The girls made construction paper quilt squares. Didn't they do a great job?! Ask your daughter to identify her square and to tell you the secret code it held!
