a flimsy!
whew, here is my pineapple blossom top all done! the picture really doesn't do the colors justice. these are all batiks and it will be hand quilted. i did the border different than bonnie's pattern because i only made 24 blocks and wanted it a little bigger. so used the waste triangles to make broken dishes and also included a narrow white border to stop the action of the pineapple blossom blocks and show the pattern more distinctly. i'm pretty happy with it.

Great use of the "bonus" triangles. I always save them for some other project, but this is a better idea because the colors will go so well with the center of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt, love how you made it larger using your scraps.
ReplyDeleteGrace adding your own touch with the wonderful pattern from Bonnie Hunter makes it more you own.

Very effective border Grace. The quilt has loads of personality. It's superb.
