Despite saying no more triangles, after “Shimmering Snowflake“, I decided I really wanted to make matching mountain quilts for two of my hiking buddies, which unfortunately meant more triangles. A lot more triangles. AND I made two of this quilt at once. Not sure if that was easier or harder. Ha!
Top left: the backing. Top middle: close up on the quilting. Top right: close up on the border
Bottom left: triangle organization. Bottom right: the top once pieced and before quilting
The pattern is “Mountains” by AGF Studio. I made a couple of modifications. The upper right “mountain” had a jagged edge and I think it was supposed to be the sun, but I smoothed it out to make another mountain. I thought that made more sense with the dark sky. I also added a border of “chips”, to make it a bit bigger.
I loved picking the fabrics for this. I also love the final look. I definitely need a break from triangles though! So much more pressing and fiddly-ness.
The above shows partly how to get those points perfectly lined up! Use a pin to go through each triangle point, then clip the fabric together and sew through the point you can see. Since you lined them up with the pin, you know they’re matched up and you’ll go through both points perfectly.
My two hiking buddies loved their quilts! I was tempted to keep them for myself, I loved them so much. I would have made a third one for myself, but alas, I didn’t have enough fabrics, and while I worked on this Joann Fabric closed for good. 😦
