Delectable Mountains.

I have been working on the Whirligig UFO as a part of my quilt guilt 2016 UFO challenge.  I had gotten a lot done already and as I gazed upon this beauty on my design wall, all done except for borders, I decided, It's too small!  I had enough extra fabrics to make  more blocks, and so I did, I added an extra row, so the quilt is now 5 x 5 instead of 4 x 5.

I also started on the borders.  Also with leftover fabric, mostly scraps, I made 44 smaller delectable mountain blocks that I had been thinking of doing.  Eleven per side.  I think it will look  fantastic!  Here's my progress!


As I gazed upon the new improved version, I decided I really really didn't like one of the blocks.  Dull and boring in color, and so I ripped it out and made a new block, a red one!  Can you tell which block I ripped out?  Maybe that gray one in the 3rd row?  Or perhaps the brown one in the 4th row?  No.  Actually, I might have replaced that gray one... it is also a little on the boring side.  But I didn't have enough fabric left to redo one in any other color!  My delectable mountains used up every possible scrap of any decent size!  Ok, which one, you ask.  The olive green one in the 2nd row is the ugly duckling!  Puke green if you ask me!  And so now my quilt looks like this!  Better, eh?
