My goal for June is make lots of pineapple blocks and get them into a quilt top!
Now it is your turn to link up - what is your goal for this month? (A goal could be to finish a quilt but it could also be to attach a binding. Whatever it takes to help you move forward and make progress on your projects! And as long as the project involves making something with a needle and/or fabric, you can link up!)
Make sure you visit the One Monthly Goal event page for the specific requirements for links and social tags. Your blog post (or Flickr post) must contain a photo of your project, a clearly stated goal and a link back to Elm Street Quilts.

Your bright pineapple blocks look like just the thing for a kids quilt, or a quilt for anyone!
ReplyDeleteLove those pineapple blocks! That is on my list to do someday, if I ever run out of UFOs or if a squirrel gets to me!
ReplyDeletePretty pineapple blocks, bright and fun! A perfect project for spring ;)
ReplyDeleteYour pineapple blocks look like fun! Great colours
ReplyDeleteWhat nice colorful pineapple blocks! They must be fun to stitch up!
ReplyDeleteThat Lanterns of Hope pattern looks gorgeous. That would be good reason to try again... so far I have not been successfull at all :) But your text mentions a different pattern - which is it? -- Best of luck for your own goal! Hope you have lots of fun. I am looking forward to seeing more of the pinapple gorgeousness :) xo
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this Patty. I love your pineapple blocks - good luck with your goal.
ReplyDeleteYour pineapple blocks look fantastic, Patty! Your goal of making "lots" of them made me chuckle. Love that -- at the end of the month, you get to decide whether "lots" meant 20 blocks, 10 blocks, 3 blocks... ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your bright coloured pineapples.
ReplyDeleteGreat colours in your pineapple blocks. So cheerful and bright.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your pineapple blocks this month. Very fun and bright.
