Welcome to May!!!
Making these Delectable Mountains is fun! I like using Bonnie Hunter's method in her Scrappy Mountain Majesty. I did increase my subcuts from 8.5" to 8.75" square, just gives me a bit more room for trimming and makes it easier.
The teal is a batik while the neutral is quilting cotton. I used a light teal Glide thread to quilt it on my Nolting FunQuilter with a freehand feather design. Hobbs 80/20 is my go to batting.
The teal was also used to bind it. The backing is a perfect complimentary batik.
I went to lunch with a long time friend today and then we went to two Amish greenhouses. I picked up some really pretty posies!
This peach begonia in amongst the gorgeous greens was to pretty to leave behind. They had other colors of dahlias in other baskets but they just were not as pretty.

very pretty flowers. I have always like the mountain pattern and yet have never made it - I really need to put that on a list (if there is room)
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful! I love the looks of the majestic mountains, but did not enjoy making that pattern. Maybe I need to try it again.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty runner! I've never made the Delectable Mountains block before, but it always intrigues me. Pretty flowers, too! We're just about at that time here, too - I usually try to plant around Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteI love the batiks in the mountains. You found some really pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteI always love delectable mountains. I have to add it to my list - for some weird reason I have never made one!
ReplyDeleteI love your table runner. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteNeat table runner, Vicki!!! Love the fabrics that you used--looks iridescent!
ReplyDeleteYour table runner looks really striking - the batik fabric adds a lot of interest.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are lovely and so is that table runner. Love your quilting! So pretty. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Hi Vicki, love your teal runner - the teal binding also finishes it well. Aren't feathers the greatest....once you finally get the hang of them? Thanks so much for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks. Those peach begonias are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove it! A couple of years ago I made a lap quilt with this design and put dinosaurs in the rows. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
