Pineapple quilt

I'm linking up with the 2018 finish-along and sharing another finish from my quarter 1 list of proposed finishes - my pineapple quilt. After playing with some yellow prints last year for a bee block, I thought I'd scratch an itch I had to make a pineapple block. I used the free pattern by Jackie Padesky found here.


Well, the pineapple block soon became two and before I knew it, I had started another project.


I used the same layout as the free pattern but modified the width of the sashing pieces so that I could use some of the classic Ikea number fabric for the backing,


I free-motion quilted it using an all-over sharp stipple design (which I thought was a good match for the spikes on a pineapple) and bound it with a sunny yellow DS print.


The lake at the Said with Love quilt barn turned out to be the perfect place for a quilts in the wild photo shoot.


I love how it turned out and can imagine myself making another one of these quilts in the future. I gifted this one to a friend who had admired it as I was making it.
