My latest finish! My Happy Pineapple Quilt!
I was stumped for awhile on how to quilt and ended up going with a spiral.
One new to me technique was to shift my needle all the way over to the right. This allowed for using the edge of the presser foot as a spacer and easily increase the distance between lines. (I still need to go back and fill in the center starting circle.)
Each of these blocks are 12'' finished and I used these foundation paper from Fat Quarter Shop. Paper piecing pineapple blocks (say that 3 times fast!) is an easy to create this blocks. No specialty ruler required. My quilt is 48'' x 48''.
The fabric I used is Moda Ombre by V & C. Love the gold color on the back. This is the 3rd quilt and the 5th project I've made with this fabric. I got the fabric to support a magazine publish and then have turned in my scraps into all these other projects!
I decided to go with a faced binding because any binding color I auditioned just didn't speak to me.
Have a wonderful day! Patty
This is stunning! I like that you started with the lighter color and progressed to a dark in each block.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful... love the quilting!
ReplyDeleteI have never done a faced binding and am not even sure what that means, but it looks awesome!
The facing lets the blocks shine. I'm in love with quilting spirals right now myself, and so I'm happy to see other quilts finished using them, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Patti! I really like how you've quilted it, and the faced bindng was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteReally like the effect of the ombre. I have some of that fabric ready to go for a pattern I've been itching to make--as soon as I get my sewing room back!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! What a great use of the fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. Well done. I was doing spiral quilting tonight....the few several round were painful.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the variety of colors in this, and great use of large spiral!
ReplyDeleteOoooh. That's so pretty. It's a little more modern block and it's really working!
ReplyDeleteI love the saturated colors against the crisp whitel The spiral quilting is perfect. Is a faced binding the same as "birthing a quilt" or envelope style?
ReplyDeleteIt surely is stunning. One of these days I’m going to try a faced binding! It was a great decision,
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous and the spiral is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe spiral quilting is just perfect for this quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt front. Interesting quilting nifty backing. It all works so well.
