I couldn't resist making yet another set of delectable mountain blocks. But this time with a southwest flair in design and color.
Just by changing orientation of the block and adding the flip and sew corners for the brown center it makes it feel like a while different block.
Several of you mentioned you had never made a delectable mountain block...go ahead and jump in and do it!! I used the Bonnie Hunter method from her Scrappy Mountain Majesties tutorial.
We had a lot of bird activity this week, the goldfinches are still hanging around the feeder, along with cardinals. But the arrival of the hummingbird was a welcome site. And OMG two Indigo Buntings and several Gross Beaks!!

Love the southwest vibe! Fun to add that little folded square center - a great idea. I have seen a hummingbird at my feeder....no bluebirds yet - have to be there at just the right time.
ReplyDeleteOooh - the Southwest flair is great. Perfect colors too! Our bird feeders have been busy too, although I haven't seen any hummingbirds yet. I've never seen an Indigo Bunting around here.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great in the southwestern colors, Vicki! I like the color of thread you used for quilting, too. And wow on the bird photos - you got some good ones! Love seeing the Indigo Buntings - we don't get them here.
ReplyDeleteLove this runner! I had to take my bird feeders down. The darn crows were making such a mess and my neighbor was complaining about the mess at her house. Your birds are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove your Southwest table runner. I can see that in a Southwest "row" quilt! Thanks for sharing the birds too.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely table runner! And the birds in your garden look quite spectacular. It must be fascinating watching them all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tablerunner, Vicki. Will you be keeping this one? I immediately thought of your camping trip near Yuma earlier this year. Love the bird photos and your bird feeder pole-how clever. I will have to show it to hubby. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteIndigo Buntings?!! Jackpot!!! I love the table runner & quilting, too!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the tablerunner! We had indigo buntings at our grape jelly feeder this week - fun to see them return!
ReplyDeleteLove the Southwest Vibe you have going on! What a clever transformation of the Delectable Mountains block. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Lovely finish. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki, I love your latest runner. I'll be looking into that tutorial - thanks. I've become addicted to bird watching in my back yard. They are just so cute to watch. Thanks for sharing and linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
