These are 2 of the Pineapple Blocks I'm making for Long Time Gone. I have to make 14 more.
I'm paper piecing them. I love the ease and proficiency of using paper. You just sew on the line and make sure the fabric is large enough to cover that particular area. I work on 2 blocks at the same time. They measure 5 1/2 inches square. Once these blocks are done, my blocks are complete and I can start putting Long Time Gone together!
These 60 degree triangle pieces are also part of Long Time Gone. Each triangle unit measures 2 1/2 inches square. So close to finishing! So exciting!!
I miss having hand work to do while watching television. I decided to knit a doily. I thought it would make a nice Christmas gift. It's very similar to knitting lace. My grandmother used to crochet doilies but I like to knit them. To each, his own!
That quilt will be amazing...I don't know how you can make all those different parts and are able to choose such gorgeous colors that all go so well together--nice work..hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the sweet comment! I limit myself to my stash and try to not over think it! It somehow works. I'm really looking forward to putting this one together!
DeleteLove your long time gone. Will be pretty for sure. Knitting doilies. Hmmm.... i never thought of that. Like your pattern and yes my hands need to be busy too. Keeps me out of trouble ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn! I would rather knit than eat while watching TV. I bought a couple of Leisure Arts books from Amazon for knit doily patterns.
DeleteThose pineapple blocks are so tiny!! Congratulations on your patience for stitching these.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Maureen, I don't think they're that difficult! The pieces are small but they do get bigger as you make the block. I wish I didn't have to make 16 but I'll get there!
