Intriguing tales combined with thought provoking patterns!
Live accounts of riding the rails mixed with the codes used in that era create a marvelous book worth reading. Step back in time as you listen to first hand accounts. The blocks can be combined in countless combinations to tell stories or personalized for someone special. I will be using this to combine history with quilting for elementary school students. Priceless!

enlighting topic, compelling photos.
A good read. Photos are worth studying, touching. Quilting does not go well, too many errors. Don't purchase if intending to use a pattern for quilt.
