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.
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.
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!
