Default Yup, It Was a Grand Adventure....

Hello Quilters! This is my 9th quilt, and based on the Jennie Doan "Grand Adventures" (Delectable Mountains) block which you can see here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F-_hH4hNxA
She interprets them as mountains, I think they are more like lanterns and that is what I tried to present in quilting them.

I used a Moda solid for the black, and the batiks just kind of came from everywhere.

This was quilted on a Tiara, using mostly simple ruler work using a Handi Gagets mini ruler. I used Superior Gold metallic on the colored lanterns and Signature black cotton thread on the black. The metallic behaved itself, but I think the Signature brand of thread was a little linty. The gold on the boarder was just some fancy stitch on my domestic machine.

I did bind it by machine, which turned out well...used a binding attachment which had a steep learning curve but was the right thing in the end.

Thanks for looking!
