Remember when you didn't want to try some new, "suspicious" food, something your mother had just made and you balked at trying it? And she would say "Try it, you might like it!" Many quilters avoid a Pineapple because earlier experiences didn't work well, or you used the paper piecing, not always a favorite, or you had issues with the bias, but --- I had NO problems with this project, probably due to the excellent pineapple ruler I used AND the DVD I purchased thru Annies Craft Catalog, by Gyleen Fitzgerald of www.colourfulstitches.com I tried it and I LIKED it!
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.
It is lovely! I have a book by Gyleen, but I didn't know she had a pineapple ruler.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty, it looks great against the snow.
ReplyDeletePineapple in the Snow! Sounds like a recipe from a church ladies' cookbook -- I like your low-calorie version very much.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I especially like the unique border.
