I have been working on my Grand Illusion Mystery quilt but in between steps I have been digging into some of the tiniest scraps. I have 27 log cabin pineapple blocks done so far. These blocks are from Bonnie Hunter's String Fling book. I did a couple earlier in the year but I have been back at them again.
They use some of the smallest bits of fabric. That is almost dangerous, because I am keeping some very small pieces of fabric. As I get to the outside, the pieces are much more reasonable to keep. I just love that I am using every colour in all the blocks and some of the busy prints work so well because the pieces are so small.
Here is another batch of them started up. I am doing them on the paper foundations and so far the paper has been no trouble taking out. I am using Chinese Red Kona in the center and White Kona for my light colours.
I have linked up with Soscrappy's linky page today. Many of the other scrap quilters are getting finished some of their quilt tops or making goals for next year. But I have so many missing blocks still. Next year I will just have to finish up more scrap tops and do less starting projects. I am great at starting but not so good at finishing the quilts.
Gemma wants a belly rub. We played Agility last night and again the morning. She was such a good girl.
I love the fact that you have used every colour possible in these Pineapples, it is wonderful, how big are the fished blocks? Pleased to see Gemma having a nice time relaxing!
ReplyDeleteThe pineapple blocks are looking great. I am also working on Grand Illusion and Talkin' Turkey.
ReplyDeleteI think your tiny pineapple is striking! Nice work...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pineapple blocks!
ReplyDeleteI have that book. This block tempts me. I love that you are using lots of bright fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with starting new projects rather than finishing the earlier ones.
ReplyDeleteStarting new projects is so much more fun than finishing old ones, isn't it. I struggle with the same problem. Your tiny pineapple blocks are beautiful.
Starting is so much fun. Finishing feels really good too though. Hopefully next year will see some finishes. Love your pineapple blocks. Using tiny pieces is dangerous though for making you want to keep everything.
ReplyDeleteWho could resist that face?? The pineapple blocks are very colorful & scrappy!!
ReplyDeleteYour pineapple blocks are gorgeous. I have been wanting to start a pineapple quilt but have been able to resist...until now. So without meaning to, you are encouraging others to start quilts while you finish yours!
ReplyDeleteLove those yummy pineapples! They are so inspiring...I had been thinking of trying some and you may just have convinced me to do so!
ReplyDeleteYour design wall is beautiful! I have so many teeny tiny crumb blocks and I have the book. I wonder if I can get them together next year.....
ReplyDeleteGemma looks adorable!
