I added quick corners on the blocks - they seemed to be a bit too dark. The melon/green helps (IMHO) to coordinate the overabundance of fabrics. Adding the corners means 37 pieces per block. I'm liking it! My original border idea was to make Lazy Gal words in a wide border, but I'm rethinking - maybe something curvy, roundish would be better after all these sharp angles. Speak to me, quilt!
The top row, that is not all in the photo, is already sewn together - I couldn't wait to see what it looked like!

OOOOOooooo! That last step of adding your connector corners added a lot! Love these!!! I cut more strips for mine today...just need a little bit of time!
ReplyDeleteI did a little wall hanging for a challenge based on the song "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall". Your post reminded me of that.

ReplyDeleteLOL, I can tell you're having fun with this quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love it, Elaine! The corners add just the right touch!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like what the new corners did for the blocks Elaine, you are right it really brings them together!
ReplyDeleteO.k. you are now officially buried in Pineapple blocks about as deeply as we are buried in snow here in the Northeast!
P.S. Catching up: Glad to see "Detours" got done despite trying your patience a bit.
I love the pineapple blocks. they are going to make a stunning quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love Detours and I love Pineapples. I have wanted to do a pineapple. Just tried your laundry soap yesterday....so far so good. I love popping over and seeing what you are up to.
