A Floral Saturday Afternoon Quilt from the Past As my grandma prepared and moved from her home to a care center she meticulously gave away and donated the majority of her possessions. In fact, you couldn't visit her without leaving with a load of books, pictures, kitchen items, etc. But there were a few things that stayed in the house longer than others and this quilt was one of them.

UFO to TFO: Pre-Cut Civil War Reproductions Quilt
UFO to TFO: Pre-Cut Civil War Reproductions Quilt Today I'm happy to share another UFO (UnFinished Object) that has turned into a TFO (Totally Finished Object).
