I saw the Mountain Top on another Design Wall Monday blog and decided to make a block myself so that's on my design wall. I'm using scrap muslin as the background and the left over pieces from sewing bindings together. I've been looking for something that uses half square triangles and this is it. I LOVE this block.
In additon, I started the Crazy About Hearts and Stars by Buggy Barn. The pattern has 20 blocks but I'm making mine with 25 blocks. But because of how I wanted my fabrics placed, I'm actually making 27 blocks; two will become pillows. I started out making one block at a time. After the fourth block I'd had enough. I chain pieced the next six. It worked so well that I then chain pieced the remaining 17 blocks. I have two more seams to sew to complete the blocks. I tend to get the blocks pieced pretty fast but then stop at the borders, so my goal now is to finish the blocks, determine a border to get the quilt to queen size and then make back and binding. We'll see...
