Alaska Slide Show

This looks more like a film strip* to me than a slide show, but either way, it’s done. 53x65”

I usually piece things left to right, one row at a time - which can be tedious and boring - but I saw where someone pieced hers in blocks, so gave that a try . . . 

So much more interesting to work on! And less wresting with long, unwieldy rows, which is one of my least favorite things. This idea is a definite keeper.

The original pattern called for 5” borders all around but I like the current look and size, so I’m going to skip them. 

This used up most of the Tlingit-style fat quarters I bought in Juneau specifically for this quilt. I have a plan to use the remaining pieces on the backing. Be interesting to see if it works out like the picture in my head . . .

* Betting kids nowadays don’t even know what a film strip is, let alone what it looks like. 😂😂
