My Happy Pineapple Quilt


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

HST Scrappy Table Runner


One key goal during this stay at home (endless) reality is to use up scraps - leftover blocks, small pieces of fabric etc.   I've made baby donation quilts, this pillow, and a bunch of mini quilts and small bags.

My new table runner is my latest project!


My original plan was to big stitch quilt it but after stitching down probably a third, I decided to go with my 'quilt it to death' aesthetic', pulled out the hand stitching and buzzed away with my walking foot.



Now I've got some new decor for my entry hallway table and a pile of pretty HST are living the good life!

Have a wonderful day! Patty
