UPTO Mountain climbing!

 Purple Mountains Majesty!

Well, these mountains are not purple

 but they are a challenge.

Realizing  that I needed a Family quilt set 

( wedding quilt with matching baby quilt),

 I did a deep dive into

 the scrap pile and started

 a delectable  mountain set. 

Ideas abound online but since I am using scraps,

 the design had a mind of its own .

First I paired up some fabrics to make the peak sets. 

and stitched them into large 1/2 squares.

 I found some great tutorials, 

but didn't glean any dazzling hints. 

Discovered one hint on the way tho.  

I cut my layer cakes larger than 10" .

  If they are 10", the large  1/2 square needed 

often comes out smaller than the 9 1/2"square required. 

10 1/4- 10 1/2" are better, and make for easier trimming. 

Then I cut the squares into 4 equal sections, 

and stitched them together.

That leaves me with a beautiful pile

 of block quarters , 

so off to the design wall.

      And that is where this top sits. 

Decisions need to be made so it will rest for a few days . 

To lattice of not to lattice, that is the eternal question. 

Keep an eye out ,

 this top will soon appear on Flimsy Friday!
