KatinkaB - I love that block, it's very eclectic. Red and Ivory will be fun to work with!
I worked a lot on my blocks yesterday while we were in the middle of the blizzard we received. Then today I was shoveling snow, NOT FUN! 2-3 foot drifts, I have never seen that much snow!!! I'm so exhausted tonight and have to go back to work tomorrow. Still, in my head, I sooooo want to be working on my row! I'm doing a lot of hand applique, and I can take it to work and do it on my lunch break. I will post pics this weekend for sure.
One pieced block I am going to do is the Alaskan Star, the other is Alaska Homestead. Two others are applique forget-me-nots. Haven't decided on the 5th one, thinking about a Gaggle of Pinwheels, just because it looks fun. LOL
Everyone have a good night!

Anything goes, and red and ivory can be interpreted rather loosely.
They also only need to be the dominant colors, so if a bit of something else sneaks in, that's just fine.

We are in the same boat as far as shoveling and snow are concerned! 1.5 hrs to dig out my car and I am sore! Need to work on my technique :)
And 6am work tomorrow, brr it's going to be cold! Talk about Alaska!! That should give us some inspiration for your theme, yes?
I love pinwheels!
Happy sewing everyone!
