New start: Scrappy Mountains Majesty

My previous quilt finished, I was at loose ends.  What to do?  I thought about squares I had cut for a project over 10 years ago, and sought them out.  And searched and searched.  Finally I unearthed a set of 8.5 inch squares prepped for Scrappy Mountain Majesties by Bonnie Hunter, found on her Free patterns page.  I had even printed out the instructions!

Mostly green and light neutral fabrics, a few reds, and I think I was thinking of a Christmas quilt.  Well, not much red, so let's sew up some green and white blocks:


Now, they are not sewn together yet.  I have tried two layouts of the blocks and I like this one.
This pattern works up nicely but I would recommend:
1. reading through the directions all the way, carefully,
2. and making a test block or two, being sure you know the method.

I had no problems, but I was glad I made a test block before starting making the blocks two at a time.  I'll continue on these blocks this week and next, and it looks like I have enough squares cut for a lap quilt.

  1. I love Bonnie's method of this block, it's so fun to make. I have been using it for some table runners. Itching to make a patriotic fabric one. I love your green version;)

  2. Very nice! You could always add a little red in the border is you want it to be more Christmasy.

  3. This quilt is on my To Make list. One of these days, I will make my own Scrappy Mountain Majesties quilt. For now, I will just stare longingly at this lovely green version you are creating!
