If you worry about that, save the pieces and and donate to other quilting scraps to make beds for animals at shelters of your choice! Cotton fabric is a nice fill for pet beds. Interesting how one can look at a block and not see the mistake until the quilt top is completed!Īnother point to mention is that much fabric is wasted when trimming at each measured square.

Interestingly enough, once I had completed the entire set of 64 squares and had sewn them together to make the quilt top, I spread the quilt top on my bed and realized that one of my four-patch squares was not aligned with the rest of the design! So I carefully ripped out the square and resewed each seam affected resetting the four-patch. If one is not paying attention, it is easy to cut the squares wrong. The cut is "off" the square in each round, thus creating the increased length of fabric in each row. What I learned was that the pineapple quilt pattern is tedious in that for each row in building the blocks one must measure, sew, and cut for each row otherwise, the blocks do not come out correctly. The machine quilting was done by Elko Floral and Fabric.

I chose to have the quilt machine quilted with a yellow harvest variegated quilting thread and a mottled yellow backing which came out very well. To build the pineapple quilt blocks from the four-patch, a row of yellow was added to I don't know about my friends out there but, didn't last winter seem extra LONG?!!!!! It is without a doubt that the extended winter had an impact on my selection of fabric design and color for creating this quilt! I had decided in March that I was going to make a quilt for myself since I had made a quilt for each member of my nuclear family-and then some! So a summer quilt it was going to be!įrom this photo it is easy to see how the center is comprised of the "four-patch" square as presented in my March blog. In my last blog I gave some helpful hints for creating the four-patch square which is the foundation for the Pineapple Quilt that is the topic of this piece. This is my second attempt to create this blog-for some reason, I lost what I had. No worries though, I took a lot of pictures and did journaling notes about what I wanted to write about for this blog and others. So it has been a long time since my last blog-but with so much summer fun, it was simply a very busy time so-while time was spent quilting, I did no blogging.
