Forty-Two Delectable Mountains

 

I bought this fabric as a fat eighth bundle (9x22”) of prints celebrating fifty years of Moda quilting cottons. I thought of submitting a finished quilt for their 50 Years of Moda Challenge. I love a challenge, and the $2,500 first prize sounded nice. I’ve always wanted to do a Delectable Mountains quilt, and that’s what I imagined when I looked at these wildly diverse prints. But I came to the game a little late. Even if I’d shelved all my other projects, I couldn’t have beaten the March first deadline. Delectable Mountains calls for 1/2 dark and 1/2 light prints, and the bundle only had a handful of light colors. Moreover, the entire quilt top, back, and binding must be made with Moda fabrics. Most of these are, but one or two may be Riley Blake or Maywood Studios. So, I’m making this to please myself. So far, it's doing great!
