cjsews, really loving the alternate layout you've got going on there!
Blueridgebeverly, those flower fabrics are super cool cut & put together like that. Reminds me of like acrylic art pours!
judy363905, I like your fabrics, especially that one with the abstract looking shapes. I love that dynamic looking art style in the design.
sewbizgirl, very neat to see both the lights and the darks being scrappy!
I had to fight my cats today for every second I could get to sew undisturbed so I was only able to get half the blocks sewn. I consoled myself about my slow speed with knowledge if I were making a lap size (I 'm not
) I'd almost be finished. That and cuddling with the cats... which only encourages them to disturb me. A vicious cycle.

Beverly- what wonderful fabrics. Kaffe?
CJ- looks awesome- kind of a Southwestern look.
SBG- you rock!! Love how it turned out.
vadalia- tell me about it! I've been a slave to cats my entire marriage
I'm still sewing the blocks then on to how I'll arrange them. I'm also doing the Bonnie Hunter mystery. I thought I would pass but I'm really enjoying this one.
I'm finding these sewalongs really fun.

Suzi, it is Kaffe. I pulled from a couple of Layer cakes I bought on sale. I love the richness of the color but find it intimidating to work with. I’m not sure I have a natural sense of color and print combinations. I’m choosing it more lately to get more comfortable.
Judy, your fabrics are so fun. I can’t wait to see what layout you decide to use.
Sewbizgirl, your top looks great. I love the way your scrappy lights look.
Watson, great layout. Did you add extra units to get this layout?
I ended up making 36 units and still trying to decide on the layout. I laid out in a couple of configurations and took photos. I’ll keep playing with it and also have to decide what to use as the borders.
This is my first delectable mountain. I like the versatility of the block. I googled and saw some really fun quilts.
