It's Saturday afternoon already and I haven't done half of what I intended to do today! Some days are like that and I don't think I'm alone?! I've been glued to the sewing machine almost every day this week. Some weeks ago I made a Christmas table runner and four place mats that needed to be quilted. That's done! Yesterday I added binding and have left to do two of the four place mats. But that was not what I was going to write about today.
Isn't it amazing what can be done without I-net connection? I'm one of those who can't sit idle, I have to do something. I read, I always read a book, but that is limited to after I'm in bed. If you wonder what I'm currently reading? Hillary Jordan; Mudbound. During daytime, I do other things; housework, grocery shopping, yard work etc. Boring routines! Hahaha!
During the lock-down and no I-net connection I did a lot of sewing. I had (still have) a lot of 1.5" strips that could be used for other blocks than log cabin. I decided to make some scrappy pineapple blocks. I had sew much fun, but all the strips got a bit tedious.

Beautiful use of your strips!
Saturday afternoon already? I barely got up as it’s just Saturday morning in Texas. I like your pineapple blocks I recently made several also for the Long Time Gone quilt I’m working on and know how tedious that can be. Yours is going to be beautiful.
Great way to spend your time Astrid and thanks for the history lesson.
The pineapple blocks are wonderful. The will be lovely in a quilt. Glad you have plenty to do to keep busy.
Love the blocks and admire your dedication to using every little scrap. Funny side comment - mistakenly read that you had made 131 blocks lol, and wondered why you needed to make a few more for a wall hanging :)
That may be tedious sewing but it sure looks great when you put them all together!
Sew beautiful! And I'm glad that the kitty didn't kill the quilt blocks.
