NF28 — Memory & Album
Hosted by Teresa Drummond
Album-style and memory blocks celebrating personal milestones, family history, and cherished memories. NF28's 12" blocks combined traditional album block patterns with personal stories. This swap was part of the NiftyFifty Quilters tradition — one quilter from each of the fifty states exchanging handmade quilt blocks to create a unique collection representing the entire nation.
