Quilted Mountains

In July last year I made a Scrappy Mountain Majesties top. In November I sandwiched it ready for quilting, which I was hoping to get done by the end of the year. In fact I didn't start quilting it until February this year, when I only did a little bit and then stopped. The quilt has been sitting waiting for me until this week. But here it is, quilted:
