This is my first time joining a link party so I hope I'm doing it right.  If not, please let me know what I'm doing wrong.  Be sure to visit Connie at Freemotion by the River.

I have been working to get this finished before leaving Idaho Friday and heading to Yellowstone for a few days of rest and relaxation after working since April as Campground Managers at a campground on Lake Pend Orielle (pronounced Pond a Ray).  I'm hoping to finish these last few blocks today and get them sewn together by Thursday.  I'm making it out of men's shirts that I acquired at thrift stores since last summer.  It will be gifted to my Grandson, Cole, who lives in Colorado and is an avid snowboarder.  The pattern is by Bonnie Hunter and is called Scrappy Mountain Majesties. 



I visited a favorite quilt shop in Clark Fork yesterday to take some scrap batting for the local guild to use for dog beds which will be given to the animal shelter.  I also had to say goodbye to Pam who was a great inspiration to me over the summer and provided me with lots of ideas and help.  While there I saw this pattern and had to get it.  One of my many future projects is to make some banners to hang out when we settle down.  This one will be for one of the fall months, which are my favorite.  Bloomin' Minds out of Council Bluffs, IA has some wonderful patterns so be sure to check them out.

    Cole will love his quilt!!! I just love Mountain Majesty blocks - I use them to create a signature quilt for weddings for all my kids (funny, it is my linky too!). I love all the creative ways you can put them together for totally different looks!!! Love Bonnie Hunter too - she is certainly great at sharing free patterns with all of us!!

      When I make a quilt for someone special, I try to find a pattern that fits their lifestyle and this was perfect for him since he loves the mountains and snowboarding. Can't say it's number 1 on his list of favorites as he's had a girlfriend now for a year and I'm thinking she's number 1. Can't wait to meet her in just over a week.

    I've seen the mountain blocks put together so many different ways, can't wait to see how you arrange them! I've got to put them on my to sew list, they always catch my eye when somebody makes them. :)

      They are fun to make except for the squaring up which isn't one of my favorite things to do. Thanks for stopping by. How's LBC doing?
