| DELECTABLE MOUNTAINS. TERRY'S WAY. The original pattern came from the book "Encyclopedia of classic Quilt Patterns" by Leisure Arts. The pattern can be found on page 76 with hundreds of cut tiny pieces. After hours of figuring out the best way to do this, I tried this method and it was wonderful to do, and of course much quicker. recently in one of the magazines from 2020 it was written again differently by someone else. I give credit to two authors for this technique. Make it Simpler by Anita Grossman Solomon Magic Base Blocks by Patty Barney and Cooky Schock. I have not published this way of doing things anywhere else If anyone would like a copy of the printed paper please contact me. I used newsprint cut sheets for this as the paper is much lighter to use.  |
| 1.This is what I drafted twice on a piece of paper to make 2, FPP copies, cut apart 2. Use 1 background and 1 accent fabric 5 inch squares per unit. |
 |
| 3.Pin a printed FPP paper on the background side only need two pins |
 |
| 4.Stitch on the inside and outside sewing lines of the 3 marked squares only. |
 |
| 5.Trim on the outside lines to 4.5" |
 |
| 6.Cut in half vertically |
 |
| 7.cut into quarters horizontally |
 |
8.Separate the unstitched square pieces cut the BG piece into a 1 7/8" square. |
 |
| 9.Cut the accent fabric in half on the diagonal |
 |
| 10.Cut the sewn squares in half to make 6 units |
 |
11.This is what you should have |
 |
| 12.remove the papers |
 |
| 13.Trim the corners of the 6 squares finger or press the seams either open or to the dark.
At this point I usually staple the units together and place them in a bag (these are my "peanuts") When I am ready to sew, take one remove the staple and begin the next step, PART 2: CONSTRUCTION AND SEWING: NB unfortunately these are not in sequence so please read instructions and follow the numbers through carefully |
