UFOs

If you're a REAL quilter, you have at least one UFO (unfinished object) and one WIP (work in progress) stashed in the closet or stacked on a shelf. Maybe you just need quilting suggestions, or maybe a fresh eye from a new online friend can help with block arrangements. How about a UFO swap? Any UFO conversation is welcome.See More

My grandma taught me how to make them. We always did needle points and would put the pieces together to make quilts. I wish I could have saved more of the ones she made me but of course they were always my favorite so they have long since been retired.
