Dog blankets making a comeback at 2017 Yukon Quest
Last September Florence Moses put out a call across the Yukon: Let's make dog blankets together.
The call didn't last long. She received an outpouring of interest.
Within four months, Moses and several other women completed the intricate, stunning dog blankets for the annual Yukon Quest.

"It's been four months of hard work," said Moses, who says she's excited to see her team's work come to fruition this weekend.
"I'm just totally floored that we have ten blankets completed."
What's a dog blanket?
A dog blanket is a fabric that is embellished, that drapes over a dog's back.
Typically, they would have beads and embroidery, felt, satin ribbons and other decorations to make the blankets look "beautiful and pleasing to the eye."
