Pineapple Blocks & T-shirt Quilt

 

Here are my 36 Pineapple Blocks all together! I still have many more blocks to make but I love how they look together. I wish I could say my scraps are decreasing but I haven't made much of a dent at all. I'll just keep going!

Here's a picture while I'm loading the t-shirt quilt. It's not square at all. The seams are crooked. I was a little nervous to quilt it.

I'm just quilting a large meander over the whole top. Once I started, it was easier than I expected.

I wasn't sure how my machine would quilt over the plastic portions of the t-shirts. It cut right through the plastic like butter! I'm about half done and it's going well. That's a good thing because I have another t-shirt quilt to finish for the same person.

    1. Thank you, Dawn! I'm just quilting the t-shirt quilt that I'm working on. It's not the best made quilt but quilting it has been a breeze. Just make sure you use stabilizer as you make your blocks. The fabric is so stretchy.
