Today I'm sharing a Mountain Peaks Baby quilt in the Fire version! A fellow quilter challenged me to think about out-of-the-box color schemes when she sent me her Fire version of Waterfall II, and I've been looking for quilt patterns to make in the Fire version every since then. Click here to read about her quilt.
The Mountain Peaks quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop.
This was a fun, quick quilt to make! After cutting out all of the fabrics, I laid out the block with each piece in its place, which was really inspiring to see how the block would turn out. The piecing is very simple and doesn't require a lot of thinking power, so it's a great design to turn on some music, a podcast or video and get some relaxing time in at your sewing machine. :)
P.S. Remember to always use hearing protection when you sew! My machine sews at 85 decibels which is loud enough to cause hearing damage over time. You can download a decibel meter app on your phone and test your machine to see how loud it is. I use noise-canceling headphones to protect my hearing.
Fabric Selection
This quilt is made with Moda Grunge fabrics from my stash, so I do not know the names/numbers of the prints. Colors range from pale yellow to bold yellow, orange, red, and purple, with the sashing in Grunge Black.
Solids or any fabric that reads as solids will work great to make a Fire quilt.
Many Quilt Sizes
This pattern features four quilt sizes - Baby (Wall Hanging) 39x39, Throw 58x78, Queen 97x97, and King 107x97. I love doing quilt math, so I include many sizes in all of my quilt patterns.
Longarm Quilting Design
This small quilt is quilted with the Cultivar design on my Handi Quilter Fusion with Pro Stitcher in black thread. It resembles flames to complete the Fire theme. :)
Wide Backing
The backing on this quilt is a leftover piece of Widescreen in Black, a backing that is periodically stocked in The Wide Back Shop at Busy Hands Quilts.
