Description

bowtietrilogy
Bow Tie is one of the seventeen blocks considered to be part
of the communication system used by the Underground Railroad.
 

Although unproven, many believe that quilts were hung on clotheslines and draped over porch railings to send messages to fleeing slaves.

As the slaves travelled their clothing became tattered and torn which drew unwanted attention.

The legend explains that when the Bow Tie quilt pattern was spotted, it was time to stay put and await fresh clothing. The fresh clothing was intended to help the slaves blend into society more easily by making them less noticeable.

This quilt-in-the-hoop block has also been published as:

"Necktie" Kansas City Star, Feb. 3, 1932
"Bow Tie", Kansas City Star (Bow Tie in Pink and White) Feb. 22, 1956
"Necktie", Nancy Cabot, Chicago City Tribune
"Necktie", Ladies Art Company, Pattern 119
