Quilter 65, you have taken Alaska to a new level. Love your 'circle' of light around it. We did see the glowing Northern Lights on more than one occasion up in Alaska back in 1968-69. Read the book for suggested sizes of each pp section and things will speed up as you progress. Love your back ground you are using. Cannot wait to see your others. Maybe it will get me back to work on mine...
Waiting to see what the specialist says about my left eye cataract on the 22 of October.

Toverly & Lyn, both of you have made such nice blocks. Do you have them all done? I have mine done, have to find the ones due for pics. Right now they're in The Box in no particular order.
Quilter 65, great start. Love the colors you've used. You'll find these are addicting and get easier as you move along. Well most got easier, there are a few that stumped me. Keep posting your blocks and we'll keep encouraging you; I wouldn't have done all of them without the support of this group.

Hi Jan, glad to hear your's are all done also. Have fun arranging them, I was surprised at how easy it fell together. I have mine and even had them sewn together and decided to make a queen size instead of the king it turned out to be. Anyway, it's ripped in two and I have to reinforce the side seams and sew it into one again. I made the side sashing different so when I wanted to cut it down a row, it had to be a center row. But alas, it's done. Here is my South Carolina for the week.

As always, the blocks are beautiful. I got in a hurry and finished mine earlier in the year, somewhere in this thread there is a photo, but nevermind, 
I just wanted to share what I'm going to do with the finished quilt.
Starting the project with you was one way for me to keep my sanity while I was caring for my 89 year old mother 24/7 and her advanced dementia. I spent 10 months trying to get my mother into a good memory care home (night and day difference from standard nursing home). I had a champion there who helped make it all possible, but only because I kept working for it and I think in the end they got kind of tired of me
So tomorrow I'm presenting it to Gretchen who helped make life so much better for mother and Rob and I.
I'm going to do it at the Support group meeting as I don't know the corporate policy there on gifts...and I ain't asking...I'm just giving in front of witnesses so they can't make her return it!
