Woohoo! I finished this top yesterday. It measures 48" x 57" and is designed to fit above a door at a nursing home. The door leads to a courtyard garden and the board member was looking for something that would be reminiscent of Vermont's Green Mountains. I hope this will fill the bill. If not, I have offered an alternative quilt that's only 36" x 36" with similar colors and a bit of purple.
I plan to quilt this myself, but not right away unless they want it ASAP. I noticed they already have a curtain rod hanging for something. When I do, I'll quilt it simply with straight lines vertically and then add a flanged binding in blue and green. I love working with those two colors, and the pattern is Bonnie Hunter's free Scrappy Mountains Majesty. My blue box is overflowing, so I'm thinking about a pieced back for this quilt.
While I wait for a reply, I will be putting together all the various blocks for Austen Jubilee, my take on this year's Quiltmaker mystery. I am mixing up some of the blocks and adding a few "coping" strips to make it all fit. I hope I have enough fabric to finish. It's put together in sections which makes it somewhat easier to see what I'll be needing in the way of additional fabrics.

I call that pattern Mountain Majesty I had intended to make it for years and never get around to it and I don't know why it is supposed to be easy to make
It's lovely and those colours do remind me of the mountains.
