Finishing a Quilt -- Delectable Mountain Quilt

Center of quilt

This lovely quilt arrived as a partially finished top with extra fabric, directions, a template, and the finished size desired.

To achieve the size, I needed to make and add 6 strips of the delectable mountain rows before the plain white borders.  Considering different machines and people made this top, the assembly went smoothly.

I picked a soft pink double wide backing fabric so there would be no seam.

Hand Quilting:

• White thread used on 1/4" echo around each white mountain.
• Pink thread used for 1/4" echo around each pink mountain, four feathered hearts in the white center, a heart in each small white square, a large feathered motif in the four corners and a continuous swirl around the border.
• 42 hours of hand quilting

Binding:

• Made a double binding starting with 3" wide medium pink fabric ironed in half.
