 CROSSROADS

crossroads pattern

 

This pattern indicated a major city or stop along the Underground Railroad. Once the slaves were out of the mountains, any quilts hung would direct slaves to major crossroads. From the crossroads, new patterns would give further directions to other cities. The main crossroad was Cleveland,Ohio.
