While I was in the basement pressing the setting triangle fabric for the 16 patch quilt I glanced over at my design wall which has had these pineapple blocks on it for a couple months. I had been trying several neutral light prints for the setting triangles and then I saw this batik fabric and thought it might be fun. The color is off in this photo since it is a dusty blue with beige spots. I only had a yard of it and I cut all of the side triangles I needed. This did not leave me a large enough piece to cut the corner triangles (look at the top corners). I do have enough to add a straight strip to the corner blocks before I add the smaller triangles which were end cuts from cutting the big triangles. I think this fabric gives it a little whimsical vibe.
The wax coated Amaryllis has just one flower left plus that last bud to bloom. On the other Amaryllis one bud stalk is quite tall and the other stalk hasn't grown much.
The pineapple blocks are lovely, they're going to make a beautiful quilt. I also have Amaryllis blooming. We need some flowers in the winter! Happy stitching!
those pineapple blocks are so lovely!! I like the triangle fabric a lot... Looks like you'll be having more flowers from your amaryllis buds...so pretty...hugs, Julierose
👏 👍 🤗 Now that's what I call a great surprise ! I agree, you added whimsy and fun to your pineapples. It stoled the show from your amaryllis, but I am cheering for that little bud to open .
I'm only just now catching up on reading posts and happy to see your colourful pineapple having the setting triangles tried out, love the batik fabric.
That will give you a beautiful quilt. Luckily we do patchwork, so we're able to fix it even without enough fabric.

ReplyDeleteThe juxtaposition of the grids adds interest and the darker value of the border make your lights shine like sherbet.
