After finishing this quilt top the other day, I pulled out another box with a UFO and decided to continue working on this project. Unfortunately, this project had just 4 blocks finished and a few others started. I gathered some more fabrics so there is more of a variety, and have been working on more blocks. This meant a trip to the quilt shop with the gift certificate my husband gave to me for Christmas! These beauties were added to what I already had. No matter how hard I try... I just can't stay away from these colors! I am making pineapple blocks using the Pineapple trim tool above. It's a pretty easy process and the piecing is very accurate. (I am not a paper piecer, but if you haven't seen Rebecca Grace's gigantic pineapple quilt, you must! It's gorgeous!!) Here is a finished block. (I must put up a design wall somewhere!) I made 12 blocks with the original fabrics I had and had them on my design floor. My husband came in and said that these blocks would make a really nice quilt for our bed. What a great idea! Now I only need 109 more blocks! (These are 9" finished blocks.) It's going to take a while, but it will be a fun process. Happy Quilting!
