Ombre Mountains Quilt in Moda Grunge

About 16 months ago, I had the pleasure of helping my son and his soon-to-be bride plan their surprise wedding. My siblings and I organized a family reunion in Sandpoint, Idaho to celebrate my 50th birthday.  The plan was to rent two vacation houses next to each other facing Lake Pend Oreille, relax, and spend time with family . . . what my family didn't know was that we added a wedding to the list of things to do.

It was such a beautiful wedding.  My husband officiated the wedding, my daughter was the maid of honor, and my husband and I gained a daughter!

Now here we are, 16 months later, and I was able to present my son and his wife with a late wedding gift - an Ombre Mountains quilt in colors that they picked out.

The Ombre Mountains quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.




Ombre Mountains Quilt Pattern


Ombre Mountains is a stunning ombre quilt design.  This Ombre Mountains quilt was made into the Queen size in Moda Grunge fabrics.  This fabric is almost identical to the fabric selection chart included in the quilt pattern with just a few substitutes.

Batting is two layers Tuscany Wool and Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly.  In bed quilts I keep or make as gifts, I always use wool batting due to it's warming and cooling features.  The wool also gives a nice loft and accentuates the quilting design.  The quilt also has a layer of cotton/poly because we live in Ohio and have cold winters.  ❆

Longarm Quilting


The quilting design is Modern Set Curves in medium gray thread.  I used this design because it results in a really soft quilt.  This Ombre Mountains quilt was sewn and quilted by me.
