iwillquilt---oh my goodness! i LOVE,, LOVE, LOVE your Alaska block with the pink & roses-it is beautiful! and a great 'change'!
and whitepine---don't even think about changing anything about your block! it is Wonderful! there is plenty of contrast- it is a stunning block to be proud of---sometimes keeping it simple can make the biggest impact- your block has the impact.
all of the blocks just keep getting better & better...inspiring enough to keep us going for the duration! (i hope) i know i am inspired all over again every time i (drop by) to see the next one posted
