JACOB'S LADDER QUILT BLOCK

  1. I brought your book Turnabout patchwork thinking it had instructions to make Jacobs ladder but was disapointed it wasn’t in it

  2. LOVE this tutorial. Love this block, see it far too rarely the last decade. Growing up (in Flint & other parts of Michigan) and in the early years of my own quiltmaking beginnings (late 1970s hippie), I also heard and read this block often being called “also known as Underground Railroad”.

    A name & block I think is a perfect way to honor, acknowledge, remember that part of USA and quilting history/herstory. [Not that I think it had anything to do with the actual Underground Railroad!]

    Just a tidbit, an fyi. However, also one of the readons I’m quite fond of this block!

    Thank you for highlighting it, and for another of your GREAT videos!! As a fairly experienced quiltmaker (piecing tops and quilting), your vids are perfect, including being able to freeze-frame when I want to jot down measurements etc.

    Thanks, again, ~ 🏳️‍🌈 ReaRae 🏳️‍🌈 ~
