Awesome! Let’s talk quilt along details. The quilt is a good sized throw quilt that measures 60” x 70”.

To make the quilt you’ll need:

The Pattern:

Complete Scrappy Mt Ranges
Complete Scrappy Mt Ranges - Etsy

If you purchased the pattern before October 2019 it did not contain the pattern for the quilt - only the foundations. Click here to get the quilt pattern portion of the Scrappy Mt Ranges pattern.

Supplies:

Printer and lightweight printer or foundation paper piecing paper (about 50 pieces)
A variety of rulers for cutting long strips and trimming. You may want to use an Add-a-Quarter ruler
3 3/4 yards background fabric
3 yards total of scraps for the mountains (can be supplemented by yardage)
1/3 yard for binding
4 yards backing
A piece of batting at least 64” x 74”

Things to think about when choosing fabric:

The mountains are the star of the show in this quilt and we want them to stand out loud and proud. To do that we need to ensure the mountain fabrics contrast well with the background fabric. The easiest way to accomplish this is to choose a background fabric that is either very dark or very light. The background fabric also needs to be a solid, tone on tone, or very small non-directional print. If the background fabric is too busy it will distract and the lines of the mountains will not be as visible.

If you choose dark fabric for the background, use medium fabric for the mountain bases and light fabrics for the mountain tops.

If you choose a light background fabric, use dark fabric for the mountain bases and medium fabrics for the mountain tops.
