Time for a road trip! A virtual one that is.
If you're just joining in, it's week 2 of Around the Block, a block of the month blog hop that runs for a year, and full of free quilt blocks featuring the 50 US states and territories. Each week there's a new journey to a different state, along with state facts and trivia. And of course, a free quilt block pattern that relates to that state, along with extra goodies and rafflecopter giveaways.
Since this is week 2, we're taking a trip to Alaska. This beautiful block is brought to you by Appliques, Quilts and More, and features silhouettes of both Alaska and a dog sled from the Ididarod race.
If you missed week 1, it's right here! Dragonfly's Quilting Design Studio created this applique block, called the Heart of Massachusetts, complete with a little heart to place within the state.
For the free downloads, rafflecopter giveaway, and other goodies, please visit the designers of Massachusetts and Alaska:
Week 1 - Massachusetts - Dragonfly's Quilting Design Studio
Week 2 - Alaska - Appliques Quilts and More
