    Thanks QuiltingNinaSue, I didn't think to press the seams open. I did swirl, in the end.

    Very majestic, just like the scenery in Alaska! An your center lays flat, so I would say you did an excellent job, Maggie Lou. Looking forward to see more of your blocks. I love all the posted blocks and looking forward to seeing more Alaska blocks from others.

    Alaska blocks are looking great!!

    I had a test done on Thursday morning that completely wiped me out for 2 days (which I was planning on as sewing days). I feel mostly better today and was able to get everything cut for Alaska. I also printed papers out for the next several months. I don't know how much sewing I'll get done in the next 2 weeks, but will be sure to keep checking in.
