MOUNTAIN BABY is a cropped and simpler version of the Welcome to Colorful Colorado quilt. The colors and quilting are inspired by the song “America the Beautiful” (written by Katharine Lee Bates in 1893 after visiting the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado): spacious skies, amber waves of grain and purple mountain majesties. The quilting in the mountains is inspired by the plants and animals of Rocky Mountain National Park.
