The Scrappy Pineapple Quilt is one of the few quilts I finished last year (June 2024)
It all began during the Covid lock-down (March 2020) and no I-net.
The blocks (42) are paper pieced and made entirely from my strips 'collection'.
Each block has 53 pieces. The strips finish at 3/4" / approximately 2 cm.
2226 small pieces pieced together.
The quilt top was finished in May 2021, and thread basted January 2023.
I couldn't come up with a way to quilt it and it was set aside.
I was searching I-net for ideas and came across this design and knew that is what it has to be! More about that (my frustration!) here.
The quilting is easier to see on the back.
Just admit you've noticed the puckering! I ensure you they are from folding the quilt and not from the quilting! LOL
For the back I've used a floral piece I've had for a while. It has red/pink/cream flowers on teal. The outer border is mottled brown. I did not get the right color on this photo, the brown shows warmer than it actually is. The photo below shows the colors better.
