Sewing the blocks was very fun but then I couldn't decide which layout I liked the best - to see the options click here. The comments on that blogpost were quite varied and increased my indecisiveness...which is sometimes the kiss of death for my projects, and they start their slow march to the UFO closet!
But Lori is hosting a parade of Mountain Trail projects, so I finally had to just make a decision and go with it. I'm not sure if the border is too wide and might end up cutting it back - what do you think? I have more of the red Kona for the binding.
I really really like this angle to view the quilt, and think that I might end up making another quilt using this same block pattern, and an on pointe layout (or one of the other layouts that I also really like LOL!).To check out the Mountain Trail parade, click here.
You do beautiful work! This is a lovely top. I look forward to seeing how you quilt it.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! Wow! That border fabric pulls it all together!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt and I like the border, any smaller and you will lose some of the flowers and the flowers are what tie the colors all together - great job.
ReplyDeleteVery different version and so beautiful, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love how unique this is, Kathy. The red binding will be a beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabric choice and a pretty quilt so far. But I do see a goof perhaps, the bottom 2 right blocks are not going in the same direction and the correct flow as all of the other blocks in the first photograph towards the top of this post. Did you already have them sewn in to a top? Jane
ReplyDeleteOh it is so, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt! Great job on getting the top together. I don't think the border is too wide.....especially if that gets it to the size you wanted! A red binding is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAre you planning to hand quilt this one?
A very cheery quilt! I love the colours and the layout you chose.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Kathy, I really love this quilt, everything about it, and I think the red Kona for the binding is really going to be the perfect touch. Beautiful, just beautiful!!! Hugs...
ReplyDeleteLove how your Mountain Trail turned out! Vintage Modern is such yummy fabric collection - I have some stashed myself. Your new blog header quilt is beautiful, too!
ReplyDeleteI love your border size. It's perfect! What a nice color way to make such a pretty quilt! Love the strong line the red gives us to see. You sure do get a lot done! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the on point layout,too. It makes it look like a braid quilt that way.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great the way it is, I wouldn't change anything!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your version~!!
ReplyDeletesuch sweet and happy colors and i agree that photo of it on point is very interesting too. in fact, I may even have to make another one~!!!~lol

So cute. I just love the colours you used. You are getting so much done.
ReplyDeletegreat looking quilt. I like the border the way it is. off to see the parade.
ReplyDeleteI really love your Mountain Trail in Vintage Modern. It looks great in those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely gorgeous version of Mountain Trail!!! Great border!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your header with the beautiful fall leaves in the background! Your Mountain Trail quilt is beautiful too - the border brings it all together beautifully. Did you change the right hand corner two squares as someone else pointed out? I hate that when that happens to me!
ReplyDeleteKathy, you've made a gorgeous little quilt!! i decided to make two smaller trail quilts, rather than one biggish mountain trail. It was a fun project:)) cheers...Marian
ReplyDeleteThis is a really nice finish, I love the fabric line you chose! I have been saving the posts, but who really knows when I'll get to it...!
