They’re at it again. The Fat Quarter Shop is featuring a new block as part of their ‘Classic & Vintage Series – Delectable Mountains!
First … I had to pick my fabrics. It was too hard to decide on fabrics from Jen Kingwell’ – Gardenvale. I may have pre-ordered the bundle from the Fat Quarter Shop to ensure I had it in my stash (did you know you can do that at the Fat Quarter Shop!?). 
I pulled out fabrcis that read ‘light’ to me for the background. It was going to be scrappy!
And then I pulled out fabrics that read ‘dark’ for the mountains – again – I’m going for the scrappy look.

And before I knew it – I had an adorable baby quilt! Seriously – what little girl wouldn’t just love to have this?!
One thing I love about making baby quilts is that it’s a great opportunity to practice my free motion quilting on my domestic machine. It’s small enough that it is fairly easy to work with on a domestic machine AND it is intended for a child.
I can guarantee that the child is not going to care if your stitches are perfectly even or your lines are right on target. But what it is going to do is make you more comfortable with different designs and build muscle memory as you work at the machine. 
I just had to include this picture because I liked the way the tree looked with the Delectable Mountain Quilt.
I’ve learned to appreciate the wind shots … you can see the stripe print I put on the back of the quilt in this shot too.

This is great! I really like how scrappy it is!
This is such a happy quilt. I love the choice in fabrics that you made. This reminds me of a quilt my grandmother made… and she is the one that inspired me to start quilting. Love it!!!
I love your scrappy version.
Wow, Kim I just love your fabric choices. Someone is going to be happy when gifted with this treasure.
Very cool colour schemes, definitely looks scrappy. I love seeing how everyone interprets the block!
Your scrappy version is so great, and I love the back! Great pictures!
I love your scrappy version. Great idea.
I have seen several versions and I really like yours. Such a great idea to make it scrappy.
Great job on the color selection – I had never considered the way you made your quilt, but I really, REALLY like it!!
I am very happy to see your version. I actually like it better than the original because it doesn't have so much white. Thank you!
I love this. The colours and fabrics all work so well together and it really looks like a quilt you would just want to wrap yourself up in. Just beautiful.
Cute baby quilt. They are just the right size to practise machine quilting. Thanks for sharing.
Such a pretty finish! Amazing from one range, just how scrappy it is! Oh, and I really like your photos too!
So pretty! I love your scrappy version.
This is gorgeous! I'm working on the Gardenvale Stars quilt, but in different fabric … may have to pick up a set myself.
I like your scrappy background. I am really crushing on non low volume background (does that make sense?) all color all the time!
