An old UFO finished!

I got an old UFO finished this week! Isn't it fun! Years ago we had secret sisters in our quilt guild. Mine new I loved civil war fabrics and quilts and every month she packaged up the pieces for one quilt block and instructions to make it. I didn't know what it was going to be until the end. And this is it! It was from one of the underground railroad pattern books, but I"m not sure which one. I love all the fun bright colors. I would never have picked them out, but love how it turned out.

I also was busy making some thread organizers for our guild quilt show silent auction. I use this pattern by Anne Unrein. You can see some others I've made in the past for friends here and here and here.
