RBD Block Challenge 2023 - Block 14

It is already Week 14 of the Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge! I just love the assembly of this block! We strip piece the colors first and then make our flying geese unit! I am having so much fun making up each of these blocks and seeing all the wonderful blocks under the hashtag #RBDBlockChallenge.

You are invited to join myself and 15 other Riley Blake Design designers as we share 16 NEW and exciting 10" quilt blocks! It is fun and free and the final quilt is a surprise!!!

We began on (January 3rd) and will be ending May 23rd with the finishing instructions! Every Tuesday, a NEW block pattern is released, except the last Tuesday of the month when we take a moment to catch up, get inspired and really enjoy all the awesome work happening on the RBD Block Challenge around the globe!

Block 14: Mountain Peaks by Melissa Mortenson

 
 

Block 14 of the #RBDBlockChallenge is designed by Melissa Mortenson of Polka Dot Chair and it's called Mountain Peaks.

You can download the FREE block pattern here

I made mine using a combination of my Forest Friends fabric and some coordinating RBD Confetti Cottons (see my fabric list at the bottom of this post).

Last year I wanted to add some hand stitching to my blocks and did some outline hand stitching in my background fabrics on my 2022 #rbdblockchallenge blocks.

I did this BEFORE I assembled the blocks into the final quilt and before I quilted it. I just love the hand look it gives the blocks and so I decided to do this again in 2023

 

Quilting together is all about community, friendship and creativity. I hope you can join us and share your progress.
