Mountain Landscape baby Quilt

Patricia took these pics for me, mine were poor owing to haste !

Patricia asked for a windy sky and different quilting in each of the mountains.

I had fun thinking of various textures to quilt to form the sky and the landscape.

The dark grey mountains don't show the quilting which has more detail and I used my favorite Superior thread for dark grey/black fabrics, it's Magnifico  #2167 and I think it's called "Smoke". It was so much fun to quilt that I stayed up until nearly 4 a.m. to finish it and I didn't even feel tired!

Orphan Block Deer Quilt

These were a set of blocks from a kit, one where I did not read the directions! I could not figure out how to make a quilt of the resulting mess of odd looking blocks so I took it to quilt retreat two years ago and Jen, clever lady, set the blocks on point so they made sense.

This was Jen after straining her design brain to find a way to put the blocks together!

 I had a bit of fabric left, enough to make another couple of blocks to finish up the necessary number.

 For a rescue I think it turned out quite well.

It took another year to find a fabric for the setting triangles and I was weary enough of this quilt not to care that it featured deer, and I scrounged together sufficient for a final border and a piece from another project for binding! Whew! It lay around another six months or so but today I finished the quilting and got the binding on, so happy for another UFO to be off the list, woohoo!

 The backing was from another kit that I bought on sale with the intention of using the fabrics for stash. It's about40"x65", and may end up a baby quilt or a small lap quilt. A bonus, I had enough Quilter's Dream "Dream Angel" batting left from a couple of other quilts to join together for this quilt

The quilting looks a little strange from the back but the fabric is busy enough for it not to matter.
