FLYING GEESE

flying geese pattern

 

This quilt pattern told the slaves to follow migrating geese towards Canada and to freedom.It also told the slaves the best season to escape.For instance, look at the flying geese pattern above, all the arrows are the same color except for two. The two arrows that are the different colors would indicate the direction the slaves were to travel.
