One Hundred!

This is quilt number one hundred for me to quilt on my HQ 16!  We bought the machine in August 2010 so it is 10 months old.  The pastel pineapple is quilted with all over feathers in the center, smaller all over feathers in each corner and a long continuous feather in the small green border. I love it!

Now on to binding!

Too Good to Cut Part 2

I created this sweet star quilt using the Debbie Maddy pattern Radiant Stars and the same box of fabrics I used for the Too Good to Cut challenge.  As with all the Debbie Maddy patterns the star is a no "Y" seam construction. I did alter the pattern to use 9 1/2" triangles instead of piecing all the little squares which used much less fabric and looks tidier to me.

My original Sweet Thimbles quilt (for the challenge) focused more on the pinks while this quilt uses the pink as an accent color with green as the major color.  

Of course, as always there were smaller scraps of fabrics that needed sewing into a pineapple quilt.  This is very pastel for me and difficult to even fathom that I would sew it but it is very sweet and dainty!  I probably would not have chosen the border fabric for this particular quilt except that #1 I already had it and #2 I used it in the middle of the quilt but it does seem to liven up the pastels a bit!

Baby Pineapple

Just finished binding this small baby pineapple quilt made from 1930's reproduction fabrics.  Very sweet!

Happy Pineapple Christmas!

I recently quilted this happy Pineapple Christmas quilt for a friend.  The pattern is from the Positively Pineapple book, using the Pineapple Ruler.  She followed the pattern in the book with 2" logs and striking applique! 
The quilting is loops and holly in the center, since the fabrics are so busy it didn't need much!  The outer border is stippling.

   

Title Quilt- Bright Pineapples

While I have experimented with paper piecing, it is not my favorite piecing method. The Pineapple Ruler from Possibilities made this bright and happy quilt possible!  So a collection of brights and black/white fabrics plus the amazing ruler can quickly become tranformed into this quilt that has been designated for a future grandbaby.... when baby's wide awake, of course!
