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.

ReplyDeleteGreat layout, pretty blocks!
ReplyDeleteI 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;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! You could always add a little red in the border is you want it to be more Christmasy.
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteI like how this one is turning out!!
