The One With the Super Scrappy Pineapple Block Quilt...

It seemed like it took forever to finish this quilt

but in reality, it took just over 4 months from start to finish.

Great news...

I found an excellent local longarm quilter...Yay!

That will make things so much more fun...

to actually get a quilt quilted 

when I finish putting it together!

Depending on a few factors,

I am able to do my own quilting.

Sometimes, though, the quilt is too large

and sometimes I want something different

than what I am able to do.

Dana, of Old Red Barn Co.,

was the inspiration behind this scrappy quilt.

I am so, so happy that I followed her lead with this.  

Without further ado...

Here it is...my super scrappy pineapple block quilt!!!  

(be sure to click on the photos to enlarge them)

Here are all the details...

All colored prints were from my scrap buckets.

Some white/tan strips came from my stash

and some from my LQS.

Each block contains 37 pieces.

There are 49 blocks total.

For a grand total of 1,813 pieces of fabric.  

It measures ~67" square after laundering.

I used Warm n' White batting.

I backed it with Moda Grunge in Creme (108").

It was quilted by longarm quilter PJ Steffenson.

with a Popcorn quilting pantograph. 

This is one of my all-time faves.

For sure.

I love it so much!

What's next? 

Finishing up some dog/cat quilt pallets to donate.

And, I have a tote bag to make.

I hope you have a great weekend!

How Many Parts Will It Take to Catch Up...Part Three

ohboy...this is difficult to handle...3 posts in 4 days!!!  

I neglected to post about one very important happening...Princess Kaylynn had a birthday in May!  She is now 12 years old.  That is impossible, I say!  She and her family took a special vacation to DisneyWorld...

Princess Kaylynn and I are on snapchat often.  I sure miss her!  
Looking forward to seeing my grandchildren when I visit Wisconsin in a few months.  

And, so that we are completely caught up, here is a peek at my scrappy pineapple quilt.

I have been sewing blocks into rows...6 of 7 rows done.  Need to put that last row together, then I will sew the rows together to have a completed quilt top!!!  

And, that's it for today!
