Meadow's Mountains

I had a lot of requests and questions on this quilt so I thought I would do a little update and info about it.  

This was a pattern from a magazine that I have yet to find - original name is Mountain Meadows by (?) Julie Weaver, but I couldn't find any info on the copy as to what magazine this is from and nothing found in a web search.  I had a very poor quality photo copy given to me by a guild member some years ago.  Yes, this is the quality of the copy - a challenge.  

I like a challenge and I liked this pattern and it was stored away thinking I would use it some time as part of the now defunct Let's Book It. 

Since I made this all scrappy, I can't give you yardage - plus, you can make this as many blocks as you like for size quilt you would like.  I made the large geese 4.5" x 8.5" using 4.5" corners (flip method - gave me the bonus HSTs).  The small geese are 2.5" x 4.5" with 2.5" corners (flip method - keep the tiny corners or toss).  I used a variety of whites and w/w/w scraps for my corners - I wanted to tame those scraps and give some more fun to this quilt - you could play with what you like.

Sew two small geese onto each other (4.5" square now) and attach to half of the right side of a large geese and half to the left side of a large geese.  To make a 12.5" block sew three 'geese strip units' alternating directions.  

How ever many blocks you plan to use for you size quilt - half of your 12.5" blocks will be made with the large geese on the left and the other half with a large geese on the right.  This is so when you put your blocks into rows, you get a double large goose and double/double little geese.

Per this photo I determined the borders are 1.5" dark skinny, 1.5" light skinny, piano key border made with 2.5" x 4.5" rectangles, cornerstone little geese (two 2.5" x 4.5"),  then  your two skinny borders.  BUT you could do any border you like.

I hope this answers any questions - if someone can find the original source I will update that here.  I will add this to my tutorial page should you like to make this quilt.  ** Quilter's World - Autumn 2015 issue **
