Design Wall Monday--pineapples

Pineapple quilts have got to be one of my all-time favorite designs.  Too bad they are so labor intensive.  Yesterday I finished up these four blocks to add to my Scrap Club red/white/blue sampler that was started last year.  They look great together, but it sure took a long time to make them.  45 pieces per block!


On tap next for this quilt are some more string stars.  I think I need 3 more like these.


As usual, I will be linking up to Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday.  Check out all the great inspiration there. I will also be linking up to Link a Finish Friday at Richard and Tanya Quilts.

  3. two of my favorite blocks and love your color choices. I really like pineapples and have a dream to make a large quilt with them. I have only made wall hangings or single blocks in a sampler. Gorgeous work!

  6. I absolutely about the pineapple blocks. I love seeing them, but they really are work; and you can't really chain piece them easily. Your stars are very pretty too.
