Brenda they look really good. You have so many done already it won't take you long now. Rita.

My niece's daughter got a pink pillowcase for Christmas. She opened it up, laid it on the ground and laid down on it. There was a very puzzled look as she got up and said "That's not a quilt!" which got me thinking. . . pineapples might be pretty in pink. Here is the beginning effort. I think I will need 20-24 pineapples to make a twin bed quilt for her birthday later this year. What do you think?

Wow, I really love the colors! Have a wonderful birthday!!

Nancy

wishing you all the very best for your birthday and coming year.

It was my birthday yesterday and this is my gift to myself! It's a table-topper/runner. I made it using some of the fabrics that I got in Nice when I took my parents there in October. I am loving these pineapples. Rita.

yep ! there's pineapples galore in the ol' scrap bin !! I'm looking forward to making them. It's
a challenge to hold back and finish some other projects first !! Marilyn

YIPPEE, Lotti! What fun you'll have! I can't wait to see what you do with the pineapples. You may start a new trend of quilt as you go. Gyleen will have to put out a second edition of her book to include all our fun.

Marilyn, are you going to make one too? Scrappy or more orderly?

Kathy, now going to my quilt studio to make another block.

Kathy...just love those blocks ! I'm amazed at how appealing these scrappy-s are !! Lotti..so happy for
your surprise !! Can you share exactly how you sew and assemble with you quilt-as-you go method ?

hmmmm - just had a little read and a long look through the book...
now i'm wondering how well i could adapt this to my latest "quilt-on-the-go" project.
i always have a ziplock baggie with needled thread (one spool of thread with a whole packet of needles threaded on to it), a small pair of travelling scissors, my trusty thimble, a few fabric & batting squares and a bunch of assorted strips, in my purse.
whenever i have to wait somewhere, i just pull out a fabric/batting square and add a strip or 5 to it
it's amazing how far i can get with these - i managed to make the whole of the strippers quilt from march to september - then got the squares sewn together (these can also be done on the go) and am now waiting for the right border to finish (of course i'm seriously contemplating moving some of the squares first - but it hasn't moved to actually doing).
when i was in dresden i ran out of strips and had to find a fabric shop so that i could continue on the way home (7 hour bus trip!!!)
i bought all the black&white fabrics they had in the shop and started my next project - a black&white quilt with sparkles of red (there was a fabric that had red splashes in it).
should i switch to pineapples instead? will make a sample (maybe tonight?) and show you the options - and then get right back to rosemarie's get-well-quilt - i promise
lots of happy smiles to all
