Dear Alaskan Lady - That is SOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! I had a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to Alaska last August and am soooooooooo hoping to be lucky enough to receive one of your blocks to put in my quilt >> a reminder of the black bears we saw while we were there (in the Seward/Sedona/Homer areas). I think Alaska must be a lot like heaven (or heaven a lot like Alaska) because it is so majestic. Lucky (and very talented) you!!!! :D :D :D
