Blocks and Binding

 

I'm moving right along with my Pineapple Blocks. When these blocks are done, I will have completed 44 blocks. I think I'm going to make 81 blocks so I can make my quilt measure 90" X 90".  I have enough scraps so that's not a problem! Haha!

These blocks are part of a secret project! They measure 8" square. I'm hoping to make a Christmas gift with some of these blocks. We'll see!

Binding baby is holding my binding for the t-shirt quilt. I hope to get that done this week. I'm still sewing down the binding on Long Time Gone. I also have to start backing the other t-shirt quilt with fusible interfacing which I just got in the mail.

As you can see, I'm keeping busy! That's how I like it!

  3. You are doing a great job of choosing the scraps for your pineapples. I guess using the same colour for centers helps cohesiveness. Yes, there never is an end to scraps it seems. But you do have pretty ones.

    1. Thanks so much, Jocelyn! I feel scraps always look good when grouped together. It's a little time consuming but worth the effort!
