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.

This is such a beautiful piece, Astrid;)) Gorgeous work...I just love it!!
I've never made a pineapple pattern--looks like it sure used up a whole lot of strips. You should be really proud of this work ,
Thanks for sharing--hugs, Julierose
Absolutely GORGEOUS!
Your pineapple quilt is stunning, Astrid. I love the pieced backing as well. Great work on the quilting. I'm amazed at all those strips...and they were in your stash! Well done.
That is such a stunning quilt Astrid! It's amazing and was definitely a labour of love methinks.
that is a neat quilt - it turned out great.
So inspiring!! I had a friend tell me once after I complained about a fabric I hated....Just cut it up smaller and you'll love it. Hence your quilt made me think about 1 inch strips. It is truly beautiful!!
FABulous!! Love the quilting design. It's perfect for this one. Bravo! ;^)
So much work! And a lovely finish. Great combination for the backing as well.
What a monumental work! All those pieces. Amazing.
Beautiful. What wonderful colors.
I love your quilt.
Masse greetings to you.
