I am now quilting the quilt top I finished early last year. I will of course show you the whole thing once it's done. I am machine quilting it with light blue thread (the red threads you see are my basting stitches). It's a compilation of different squares (I started some of them when we lived in Texas, and did some while living in NC and attending the Va Quilt Bee, then I did a few more squares plus the center panel and all the applique and embroidery work here in Tucson).
I am also working on cutting out the pineapple quilt strips as well. Had a hold up on that for a while because I ran out of a certain piece of green fabric with pink roses. I am now doing the last section of colors (the pinks, purples and lavenders) and then I will be finished cutting out all the strips.

| This is the pineapple quilt I will be making, except I have changed the colors from the reds and greens to pinks, purples and tans. I also have a quilt partially pieced of Sawtooth stars for my daughter that I have to get back to. And of course, I am embroidering that red, yellow and blue panel of flowers for a future quilt as well! :-) Too many quilts to make, too little time! |
I keep visiting..can't wait to see what your pineapple quilt will look like...I have made a small one once...and am contemplating the pattern to use some of my batiks.
ReplyDeleteYou gave just a peek at the quilting so now I'm intrigued. Can't wait to see the final quilt. You are doing great with quilting since you also do so many other things. Love you.
ReplyDeleteThis will be beautiful when it is done, Marie! I still have the 4 pineapple blocks that I did in a class that I need to finish some day. It is on my UFO list of ones to finish this year :-) We did these blocks as paper piecing in the class, and I thought they were fairly easy that way. I always hate picking all the paper off afterwards. I still have more of the pineapple paper pieced patterns somewhere in a file. Need to look for them. You may inspire me to make another set of blocks!
ReplyDeleteDeliciously interesting these designs.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting! Beautiful work!
