Pineapple top finished
I went to the quilt shop yesterday to get a blue border for my Pineapple quilt – as you see it’s not blue! I really miss my quilt shops in Marietta – the one I’ve been going to here really has limited fabrics choices.
However, they do have a nice rack of fabric that is 50% off. This border was on that shelf as well as 4 other ones I bought – good thing I’m not in the Stashbuster No Buy group. This is not the best picture but the border is a deep purple with a red print.
Looks great, Mary! Are you near Plymouth? Four Seasons is a wonderful shop.
Beautiful finish, Mary! Can’t wait to see it quilted.
Welcome back from paradise.
It’s absolutely gorgeous.
I love it! I was talking with my friend just last weekend about making one. You inspired me!!
Hugs
Wow – such a smashing quilt! I can understand you wanting a blue border, but this border probably lets the pineapple blocks be showcased more. Very colorful and happy quilt – as are all your quilts.
It looks great. I love a pineapple quilt. Gotta love the 50% off rack. ;cD
Wow, you have been traveling, and getting UFOs done too! Your pineapple quilt is awesome. I hear MN has been getting snow. Bet that made Hawaii all the sweeter!
Welcome home – sounds like you had a lovely vacation.
Your pineapple quilt is really a feast for the eyes
GORGEOUS quilt top! I can hardly wait to see the spirals quilted on the blocks!
Oh, it’s gorgeous. I love the red border.
Love this quilt. I absolutely love the pineapple quilts. They are so striking. This one is no exception. BEAUTIFUL
this is so pretty.
I’ve wanted to make a pineapple for a long time. Even cut 1-1/2″ strips for it when I’m cutting scraps down so one day……
Blue would have looked good but this is a good choice. The red picks up on the colors in the quilt. Nice and scrappy! I know I lament leaving my old area quilt shops almost on a daily basis especially since our choices here are getting even more limited than they were.
Good to have you back online, Mary and I hope you came back from vacation refreshed and ready to roll.
Your pineapple is just beautiful! Welcome back…you were missed. Love your new picture!
Blue or not, it looks great.
welcome back mary. missed you. you do look rested and serene. sure chesty was glad to see you. i think this border does more for this quilt than a blue one would. it really makes the pineapple pop. i love it.
