Modern Peaks Block for Destination: Quilt Along
Welcome! I’m so excited to get to present the final block for Destination: Quilt Along. This is a free mystery quilt along hosted by Partners in Design. If you haven’t been following along, it’s not too late to start! You can get all of the details here.
Why Mountains?
The mountains have always been my favorite destination. I remember road trips to visit my grandparents as a kid, and how excited I would get when we finally got close enough to see the mountains on the horizon. Now I’m lucky enough to live near the mountains, and getting out in them is still my favorite way to spend a day.
So how could I pass up featuring mountains in a fun, modern block? This is a quick one to put together with just 8 pieces!

Question for You
Would you rather visit the mountains or the ocean?
I mentioned that the mountains are my very favorite place, but I do wonder what it would be like to visit somewhere where you can enjoy both at the same time?
