  1. I am still pondering what to make. I think it is a difficult theme, well, of course I love the Earth, but how to show it....?

  3. That's a lovely theme and I bet there will be many stunning quilts and blocks made to match it. Fingers crossed there will be an actual festival for you to attend, too!
