I finished binding my second Scrappy Mountain Majesties. It is a free pattern from Bonnie Hunter. https://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html
It is made from men's shirts, so it is very soft. I get old shirts from my husband and brothers-in-law, or I buy them at the thrift stores. I wish I had added one more row to this quilt, but I used up all the fabric I had cut and got lazy. The binding is backing leftovers from another quilt. The backing is something I got on sale.
I really like the quilting that Melissa, who owns Virginia Longarm, suggested. I remember really liking the longarm pattern on my last Scrappy Mountain Majesties too. When I went back and looked, the patterns are very similar even though the quilting was done in another shop. https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/6417752598575065741/5287776221265985872
I had planned to bind this by machine, but I goofed and stitched the binding to the front of the quilt, so I ended up hand stitching the binding to the back. You would think I'd have learned something from my mistake, but I did the same exact thing on my next quilt, so I'm going to have to hand bind that one too. It is normally not a big deal, but my hand/foot syndrome (from the chemo), makes hand binding a little more difficult.

The quilting looks so nice with this design. Great finish! I love the Mountain Majesties block, but for some reason did not enjoy making it. Maybe I need to try again. You've inspired me to get my bin of mens shirts out and play with those.
It's beautiful. Love the border too.
Great block and you made it into a lovely quilt.
I'm using that block for the RSC..
Nice finish! You are reminding me that mine is still waiting for me to quilt it. I like what your quilter did with yours. The swirls work well with the pointy blocks.
Such a great quilt, love the colors and movement that the quilting create together!
