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!
~That's It I Quilt!

That is awesome! Love the bright colors against the black. Why do some quilters dislike blacks in quilts?--I love to use black for contrast. You did a beautiful job, and it looks like it will cover my K bed. (In case it ever wants a new home, teehee)

Wow! this is beautiful! The black background really makes the colors pop, your quilting is great, I would love to learn ruler work someday

Your lanterns shine so nice against the black. Beautiful
