Pineapple Progress

Did you know that June 27 is Pineapple Day?



To celebrate, Fat Quarter Shop is hosting a Pineapple Block QAL - you can find a free pattern and video tutorial on their blog!

Pineapple blocks are really another version of a log cabin - similar construction techniques but the squaring up of the block before adding the next round of fabric is a bit trickier.  That is why I really like using Fat Quarter Shop's new foundation papers!   The foundation paper is available in a 6'' finished block size and a 12'' finished block size.


My quilt top is done - I made about 35 full pineapple blocks and then some partial ones.



I really love how it turned out - more photos coming soon ........ on Pineapple Day!!!

Have a wonderful day! Patty
