Quilt Notes: There are usually a number of novelty quilt fabrics available which utilize interesting locomotive designs, including the antique ticket stubs illustrated here. Most RAILROAD quilt designs are based on the JACOB'S LADDER pattern, including UNDERGROUND RAILROAD at this site. This particular CROSSING version, also called R.R. CROSSING, is illustrated in Rhoda Ochser Goldberg's QUILTING AND PATCHWORK DICTIONARY. ___ ___ ___
