Fourteen shops across the state are participated in this year’s hop. Each shop had its own block (each designed by Marie), and the 14 blocks stitched together form The Last Frontier quilt, a marvelous tableau of Alaska wildlife. Among the block designs, were arctic foxes and polar bears, ground squirrels, hares, caribou and bald eagles, not to mention grizzly bears, puffins, musk ox, and orcas.
