In my Parenting posts here at Blisstree, I’ve been featuring Theme Weeks throughout the summer with information and activities for youngsters. Since this is Mountain & Camping Theme Week, I thought I’d see what suggestions there are for mountain quilt patterns.

Among the older and traditional pattern designs, I found:
- Rocky Mountains
- Moon Over the Mountain
- Delectable Mountains
- Rocky Mountain Road
- Saw Tooth (there also are mountains of this name)
Many quilters nowadays are creating quilts, quilt hangings and mixed media from pictures of mountains, either photos they’ve taken or ones that have inspired them. They also print photos onto fabric, from their computer, to make the material for their art work.
So mountains have found their way into traditional and art quilting, as well as mixed media.
What art have you done that’s been inspired by mountains?
