This is not speed sewing! 22 made so far, and in this photo, I set them on point. I have no idea how many are needed nor for what purpose. Oops, photos is a bit crooked. These finish at 6 inches.
The corners are kinda drab. mmm maybe some bright quick corners? I'm brightening up the blocks themselves with pale yellow, blue, green, melon -- the needed some 'sparkle.' The centers are alternate red or dark.
Those are awesome!! I like the colors!!
ReplyDeleteThey're just gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteTwenty-two pineapple blocks,
Take some strips and piece 'em up quick,
then there'll be twenty-three pineapple blocks on the wall!
The start of another great one Elaine! Are you foundation piecing these? If so, I can relate to it being slow going. I have a 30's repro one with hexagon shaped pineapples from eight years ago(!) that I could never get into the groove on because foundationing them is so tedious.
I did purchase the Possiblilites Pineapple ruler -- it works great and is faster than using foundations but doesn't work with the hexagon pineapples only the traditonal square ones like yours.
Can't wait to see how this one finishes!!

Wow, they move! You are doing a great job of these.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are awesome. Paper pieced? I love the colors. They sparkle.
ReplyDeleteWOW Elaine! 6" really?? I can see why it's taking you some time...are you paper piecing these? They look great on point - are you just using up scraps for this project?
ReplyDeleteThey really do sparkle, you know, Elaine? :D They are beautiful! I've NEVER paper-pieced. I do have the Pineapple Ruler, but again, haven't used it. :/ I love the pineapple block and every time I see one working on one I want to try it too. Someday, right? :D Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteThey finish at 6"? Are you nuts?
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks Elaine! I can't remember if you are paper piecing or not. It took me forever to finish my 9 blocks so I'm sure you are being very dedicated to this project. Way to go! Love the ditty!
