Pineapples again

I can't get enough of a good thing so when a girlfriend of mine took a class for a pineapple wallhanging and showed it to me I knew this would be my next pineapple quilt project.  It was beautiful.

When she showed me her quilt she complained that this was in her UFO pile because it isn't coming out right.  I asked her if I could help her figure out the problem.  I didn't see much of a problem at all - it just needed finishing and she lost her confidence.   We found fabric to border the pineapple block and she was falling in love with it again.

She sent the wallhanging off to be quilted.  Now it is one of her favorites.  In fact, one of her daughters begged her for the wallhanging and she gave it to her.  Now my friend says she has to make another one for herself.

My friend shared what she could for this project and again all the quilt shop gave her was the sign up sheet hand out with a lined drawing of the wallhanging and the amount of fabric required.

Now a little familiar with the construction of this block and having her quilt for some quick measurements I was ready to start.  I purchased a pineapple ruler which helped with accuracy.  It went together rather quickly.

Here is my pineapple wallhanging.  This quilt is one of my favorites and hangs in my entryway.  I'm not done with the pineapple block yet.  I want to make a pineapple quilt next.

My 2018 New Year's Resolution is going good.  A few months into the year and I've put a small dent in that UFO pile.   I've been also working on current quilts, but I'll get to them as they are finished.
