Mountain (A Quilt Block Tutorial)

Last year, my lovely friend Alyce asked me if I'd like to design a block for another of her quilt block series. I love working with Alyce - she is one of those scarily organised people who run amazingly well organised quilt alongs. Last year it was the popular Bee Hive series (which I designed my Checker Block for), and this year it's The Modern HST Sampler. Alyce has invited a bunch of designers to contribute block designs for this sampler, including me. And today I'm excited to show you the first block I designed for this QAL - Mountain!


You can pop over to Alyce's blog for the block tutorial - but I thought I'd show you some of the possibilities with this block. It's not quite as versatile as Checker, but there are still some pretty cool effects you can achieve with this one :o).

I love the movement in this simple layout, where the blocks are rotated to create over-sized pinwheels.


And the angles created using two lines of blocks going down the quilt are really interesting. This would be a really fun design to quilt!


I hope you're all having a great week!

xx Jess

A POWERFUL LOVE SPELL CASTER Dr,Abaka HE SPECIALIZES IN RESTORING BROKEN MARRIAGES CONTACT HIM DIRECTLY ON HIS EMAIL OR WEBSITE (Https://drabakaspelltemple.blogspot.com direct address drabakaspelltemple@gmail.com)..What else can i say rather than to thank Dr, Abaka who God used to reunite my marriage. Each day of my life, i ask God to bless Dr,Abaka for he has made my life complete by bringing back my wife to me and for this reason, i made a vow to my self that i will testify on the internet to let the world know that Dr, Abaka is a God on Earth. My wife and i had a fight for three days which led to our divorce. On this faithful day, i came across a testimony of how Dr,Abaka helped a lady in getting back her lover. So, i contacted him and explained to him and he told me that my days of sorrows are over that my wife will come back to me within 48 hours for he's going to prepare a spell for me. Could you believe it, my wife came home begging that she needs me back. Do you need any kind of help? Contact; (drabakaspelltemple@gmail.com) OR call his phone number via +2349063230051.
