| Pineapple Blocks the Easy Way |
The Pineapple blocks were taught by Marilyn at quilt guild on Monday. I couldn't post before now since my dear hubby had my camera in New York City this week. Marilyn learned this method over the phone from a friend in Canada. It is so simple. Check out my tutorial. I made the two floral blocks for the tutorial, and the red and yellow block at guild. It really was fun and easy. No paper piecing! This would be a fun block for a block exchange.
I've also been working on the string spiderweb quilt blocks. Pictures and links are in an earlier March post. I'm almost done with piecing the 80 blocks. I'm hoping to finish piecing them in the next few days. I'm hoping to get the quilt top finished at the next Quilts of Valor sew-in.
the fat cats look cute and also love your spiderweb blocks! might have to give those a try
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quick tutorial! Sounds like a fun block-I will have to try it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute quilt! Somewhere I read (I think it was in Elizabeth Hartman's new book) that stitching in the ditch was "old school" and the modern way was to stitch 1/4 inch from the seams. It does give things an interesting look, and is easier than free motion quilting. A good way to practice FMQ is to make mug rugs or potholders, though.... and your pineapple blocks are great - I need to check out your tutorial! Whoop whoop!!
ReplyDeletethose fat cats are just adorable. Love the border you have on that one. And Pineapple blocks are one of my favorite, especially when they have red in them!! Very very nice.
ReplyDeleteThose are some chubby kitties! Cute quilt. Pretty pineapple blocks too. Thanks for posting the tutorial!
