Delectable Mountains - Table Topper

This is a photo of my delectable mountains table topper. It began as a 27" square topper. I angled off four corners so the size doesn't overpower my table. I usually prefer the 18" - 24" size for my table.


The delectable mountains block can appear very dramatic. I think adding the applique softens the drama and makes a nice balance.

This photo is the same topper - rotated 90 degrees and  "appears"  as set on-pointe?  It reminds me of the bear paw block.  I love the look of the bear paw block, but  stressing over the points in all those HST has put me off.  That stress doesnt seem to be an issue when constructing the delectable mountains block. Those points seem to take care of themselves.



My delectable mountains projects were constructed using Bonnie Hunter's  directions over at

      I wished it would. I haven't been in my sewing room for a couple of days. I did download the EQ pattern you shared. Thanks!

    This is inspiring to me... one of the few patterns I've never done is the delectable mountains. I've added it to my list of future projects!
