A few of you were interested in the above mentioned quilt by Tula Pink. Either this is really close to it or they are giving the instructions under another name for the quilt, but here is the link:

Oh that is beautiful!

I can't remember the original name for that block but have seen it way before Tula came on the Scene so I don't think it would be a copyright issue.

Looks like a version of majestic mountains to me.

so very very many of these "hot new designers" are repackaging trad designs. it's actually a little irritating.

i am getting cranky in my old age. i really do think most how to quilt classes should begin with a pencil and a piece of graph paper. people should learn how to draft a block so they can deconstruct a block later. butbutbut those designers are income generators that help keep lqs's in business and propel fabric production.

meh. i should go to bed!

aileen, cranky

I agree it is Majestic Mountains. It has been on my bucket list for years.
It sure uses a lot of fabric.

I agree and you are NOT cranky, just speaking the plain and honest truth. I have been seeing more Majestic mountains patterns recently too. Everything that was old is new again. I think the even EB did this pattern. I made the table runner using the same concept:

I've come to realize that this is actually my favorite part of quilting – looking at a pattern and breaking it down into how it's made. Sometimes just doing that satisfies me and I never feel the need to make the actual quilt, lol. Yet often when I try to explain to other quilters how easy it is to make something, they either look at me blankly or with a deer in the headlight look. They can't and won't think about the math, they just want to be told what to buy, what to cut, what to assemble. And you know, those types usually turn out more and better looking quilts than I do.

So…it takes all kinds, I guess!

Love that quilt, thanks for posting.

I think I printed out instructions for a quilt similar to this one called "Misty Mountains." If indeed it is NOT the same one, the blocks are certainly very close. It begins with two identical squares, one light and one dark, which are sewn diagonally, cut into strips, shuffled from side to side, then resewn. The resulting block is rectangular. There are several different ways to assemble the blocks for a variety of patterns.
