Delectable Mountain Quilt

One of the attorneys that I have worked with over the years is retiring soon. I will miss working with him. I wanted to make him a quilt to show my appreciation for always taking the time to walk me through all the legal options when  confronted with an  issue. I decided to make a Delectable Mountain Quilt for him in shades of green and blue in  a gradient.  

I had seen a few variations of this style of quilt made by Molli Sparkles. See an amazing rainbow version that he made HERE. While there really isn't a top or bottom to the quilt in reality, I envisioned it, and built it on my design wall, as pictured below. 

The finished quilt isn't quite a square - it is slightly longer in  one direction. I looks great sideways too.

Almost all of these fabrics came from my remnant/scrap bins. Many fabrics were random fat quarters that I had collected  over time. I did grab a few fabrics from my shelves of yardage to fill in some colors that I felt were missing. 

I wanted to make sure that all my directional fabrics were going in the same direction, but figuring our which way to cut fabrics just to get the right shaped mountains was hard enough and I decided not to worry about fabric direction. 

I tried to use as many nature themed fabrics as possible in this quilt. I even included some of the fabrics that I have designed that are based off of photos of rocks and minerals. 

This quilt was so fun to make and I want to make one for myself. I hope my friend loves this quilt and will think fondly of his time at EPA when he uses it/
