Thanks for all the positive comments. I just pulled this out yesterday, and am getting ready to work on the borders.

This is well worth all the long hours you must have put into it. It will be a family heirloom, I'm sure, and will be passed down from generation to generation. I look forward to seeing a picture of the finished project. Lovely!

I have a project like this waiting for me in a box. Maybe I should get going on it. This is lovely. Those of us in Alaska can appreciate the subject!

labor intensive, but very rewarding. I hope you have a special place picked out to display, it's beautiful.

I love the mini bargello with the polar bear - cute! And I'm getting ready to learn storm at sea, so I love that block with the whale! Great quilt for trying a lot of different techniques!
