It's a flimsy!
Mountain Taupes
(Delectable Mountains)
80 x 90
Within the last few months I have found that a monthly theme has enabled me to move UFOs forward as well as bust stash and scraps. Back in December I declared January's theme to be "Making Brownies" - move forward brown UFOs and scraps.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I acquired this UFO back in 2018. It came with a few blocks made, some big HSTs sewn together ready to be cut apart and sewn together again, some extra fabric pieces and backing fabric. It all came in a white plastic bag and II put it into my UFO bin where it made it's way to the bottom and was ignored for all these years. I was looking through my little stack of backing fabric and noticed the backing that went with this UFO. That prompted me to dig in my UFO bin and pull out that white plastic bag with pieces and parts and move it forward for Making Brownies this month.
I added in some fabric of my own in order to have enough blocks.
When finished this will make a nice large donation quilt. I like to have a few larger ones on hand for special donations. Normally my donation quilts are around 40 x 60 for kids or 60 x 80 for adults and those get donated as soon as possible.
Another UFO moved forward!
I love this pattern--i started making one a few years back but kept turning strips the wrong way--my mountains became molehills!! haha
ReplyDeleteYours is really neat...beautiful finish hugs, Julierose
It came out wonderfully soothing. Great job at finishing.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful quilt! Yummy!!
ReplyDeleteGosh, that’s a big quilt. Well done for rediscovering it and turning it into a flimsy.
ReplyDeleteThat is scrumptious! It's a nice size too. I like your thought process. I have an RSC2015 delectable mountain that I need to finish!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This makes me want to make that pattern.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on this kind of pattern right now too! I really like your layout... I'm still undecided on mine.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have as much snow as we do!
DM looks wonderful in taupe!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely lovely -- and love your clever name for this beauty!
ReplyDeleteNice job! I bet it feels good to finish such an old UFO.
ReplyDeleteGOOD FOR YOU -- this is really pretty in a very neutral palette. AND it crosses off a lot of different boxes - old UFO and browns included.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Looks kinda serene and tranquil. I have got to attempt one of these Delectable Mountain quilts some day!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Cathy!! Such DELECTABLE brownies!!!

ReplyDeleteIt's got a real 'winter woods' feel to it, doesn't it? Just gorgeous!
I made a DM for my brother-in-law several years ago when he was undergoing treatments for leukemia. I used Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Mountain Majesties in blues, greens and purples with a variety of neutral backgrounds. I think it's the largest quilt I've ever quilted on my Bernina.
