| Helen's Underground Railroad Quilt |
One of the pleasures of being a longarm quilter is that you never know what quilt is coming next. This time it was Helen's traditional sampler quilt, taken from the book ' Underground Railroad Quilt' written by Eleanor Burns and Sue Bouchard. Each block has a story behind it relating to the slave trade in America. Sampler quilts usually have a lot going on, with several contrasting colours and different shapes. On these occasions, the quilting pattern needs to take a back seat and let the blocks shine.

For Helen's Underground Railroad Quilt, we used 'Bird's Eye View' quilting pattern by Barbara Becker, one of my go to patterns when you don't want anything too busy. It looked great on the back of the quilt too.
