Here is my entry for the Modern Mini Challenge hosted by Ellison Lane Quilts!
I call it “Sugar Mountain” after the Neil Young song (my 3-year old’s favorite).
The color units are pieced together to make a single mountain-range unit, which was then hand appliqued to a white background. The bottom white strip was machine pieced.
I quilted clouds in the sky and rolling fog for the bottom of the mountains. I added a little echo hand-quilting to the mountains in clear thread.
It measures 30″ x 9″.
This was such a fun challenge – I saw the logo for WAMU (which hosts the Diane Rehm show) and was instantly inspired. I drafted this pattern and am so pleased with the results.
What a great skill-builder to combine machine piecing and hand applique, as well as machine and hand quilting!
This quilt uses almost the entire line of Moda Crossweaves, Kona Snow, Kona Curry, and Free Spirit Gold.
