Love your collages!

We're headed to Alaska in July. Since we will be on a cruise from Vancouver BC to Seward do you know if any of those ports have a shop I should try to shop?

Wait until I tell DH that there might be quilt shops! Not sure he will be able to contain his excitement (just kidding!)

This would be a great idea. I also like the idea of each separate little quilts to hang in a grouping on the wall. It would depend on what wall you have available--only a long area or lots of room to do a group. Any will be great.

Beautiful, I think I would keep separate so that I could enjoy each one in a different setting, I loved the quilt shops in Alaska and bought something in each one we visited.

I love, love, love them! I was going to yell out "put them together" but when I looked a second time, I thought they should each shine alone. What beautiful work you do. Just gorgeous.
