I made this for my cousin. He has done some Iron Man competitions and was raised at Lake Tahoe. He had to have mountains. :lol: :lol: :lol: He is getting married next month. I am going to send this to California with my parents rather than mailing it. Hope they like it! I heard from my aunt that the bride-to-be likes earth tones-so maybe she will. :lol:
The pictures came out weird colors on my computer....hope it is just the settings and not my camera flipping out. Took one inside and outside and they all look off. The moons are mostly tans, light yellow, with just 3 darker yellow.

That is gorgeous-you did a great job. I am sure the bride and groom will love it!!

They'll love it! The tonals on the moons look like craters, very nice job!

This is stunning. I have been admiring that pattern and now that I see it in your quilt, I am inspired. Thanks for sharing.
Great work!

Great job!
I'm sure they'll love it

What a beautiful wedding present!

so pretty .....they will love it I'm sure

Ohhh its lovely!!! What a perfect gift! The moons actually look like they're glowing in the night sky too!! How awesome!!

Thank you ladies! Glad you like it. I found the pattern on line but it was for a 12 inch block. I made it 9 inches instead. Used a plastic lid as the template for the moon and cut the mountains with an EZ angle ruler. The mountains are flannel. Each mountain is with a different moon. There are 6 different moons. All kind of a marble tone-on-tone.
It was fun to make. I decided to use sashing between them and found the "wood" fabric when I went to one of my classes at the quilt shop. I bought all he had and had enough to do the binding too. PHEW!
Found the backing at another quilt shop and she suggested the veragated thread for quilting. Glad she did. I like the way that shows up.
Then (as always) I put a quote on the label. I used an Irish Blessing.
I'm going to try to get a better picture for my scrapbook before I send it off. :wink:

That's beautiful and so unique! :D

Very pretty! I know the new couple will love it.

Very nice 2 doods. The couple should love it!!!

That is beautiful. I'm sure they'll love. Who wouldn't? GREAT JOB!

Beautiful, the newlyweds are going to love it. :)

What a great present for the bride and groom! ITs wonderful!

That really turned out nice, great job.

way cool very differnt I like it

Great job.

Thank you Ladies! It will be on the road to California next Monday.
I really like the woodgrain fabric in between the blocks. Kind of manly.
I need to find more of that-I think it would make a cute "bookcase" quilt for my dad.
Must go shopping!

:thumbup: Great job! I really like the colors.

Love your quilt, 2Doods. What a wonderful gift.

I think of you everytime I go to the city fabric stores and when I went to the State Fair and spent hours scrutinizing all the quilts in the quilt barn. Did you have anything in the fair? Still think one of these days I'm going to call you when I'm in the city and invite you to coffee and a good face to face chat!

Great quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! It's beautiful what a great gift!

Wow! Love this pattern. It is an awesome quilt.

We should go to coffee, Feathers! :lol: I didn't have anything in the fair. I have never entered a quilt anywhere! I have only been doing this for just about a year and I am afraid of the "quilt police". :( I am mostly self taught (everyone here on the forum, books, and a BOM club) and I'm not sure I do it "right". Let me know when you make a shopping trip-I'll see if I can meet you somewhere.

congratulation....you did a great job on this quilt.... :D

hi

I like your lime green
