Another Delectable Mountains table runner w/ 5" squares
 

Just finished another Delectable Mountains table runner, this one made with 5" squares. I'm calling it Elemental Arizona. Believe it or not, this was inspired by some "swampy" batiks I had in my stash (ordered from EBay, luck of the draw, I didn't pick them out!) that I just wanted to use up and get rid of. I had just finished a table runner made from 10" squares in the Delectable Mountains pattern and thought I could do that again, but I wanted smaller bits of the colors I was using. So, I started with 5" squares and cut them into 3 strips instead of 4 and also mixed up the strips instead of putting the same colors back together. I added some other earthy colors to dilute the swamp effect. Funny thing is, my family loves this one! Go figure...

Hand quilted using big stitch in a variegated dark golden tan thread. The quilting was inspired by some Arizona petroglyphs. Measures 16" x 48".

Very pretty. Great for fall.

It is truly beautiful!!! You have inspired me to make one too. ;-)

That looks great! I love the placement and colors. Thanks for sharing.

Another super runner. Your quilting is great. BrendaK

very pretty... nicely done

This is so pretty!
where can I find the pattern?

Very nice and love the colors of your fabric.

No pattern, but you can watch the Missouri Star Grand Adventure video on YouTube. I used 5" squares instead of 10", cut them into 3 strips instead of 4, and mixed the strips up when putting them back together.

Turned out great, Faintly! You are so talented.

Good job. I love that pattern. Doing a quilt using Jenny Doans Grand Adventure pattern which is like this one.

Unfortunately, I don't get the pic...just a argue grayed out area. I'll tr later

Good looking quilt. I like the big stitches.

Really pretty. I love it. I have been wanting to make a quilt with that pattern. I love your version.

A lovely variation on the mountains. Well done.

So beautiful !!!

It turned out great. Such nice use of your fabrics.

I can see why your family loves this pretty runner. Very creative of you!

Your runner is really a great one! I have to say, though, that I like the back, too.

Oh Wow I love it! That pattern is great I love making it too.

Wonderful piece of work.

nice scrappy. It turned out great!

What's not to love. Beautiful.

love your table runner -- great job on the quilting

Lovely way to make unwanted fabrics fabulous. Also great way to change the original pattern.

I am working on a delectable moutaings quilt. Didn't think to mix up strips in each block. Love the look. Super job.

I love your runner ! Thanks for sharing it!
