Pineapples!

Yes I have started a new project and it's Pineapples! I've made twenty blocks using a ruler by Doug Leko by Creative Grid. It is also good for making square in a square blocks also. I wanted to make these blocks for awhile now, but did not want to do paper piecing. So I thought I'd  try the ruler first and then try Bonnie Hunter's mock pineapple block using 2 1/2 " strips for another quilt and see which one I like best.  When I figure that out I'll then make a blue and cream one for myself. So without further adieu some pics...... Now I will add two borders and then a piano key border to hopefully make it lap size. Chatter later, Martha.

From Flimsy to Finish

Got a few things back and have put bindings on and labels. This is the table topper for my son and a label pic is next. This is a small piece done by a friend who passed away. For me it was a way to remember her and appreciate her work. That is why this x-stitch is special. This is a wall hanging also going to my son. It is very important to label things so that when you are gone people (and your kids) can tell who made it . It also is a record that you were here and left something for prosperity. This is my welcome wall hanging , it is in my hallway. All three patterns are from Sew Kind of Wonderful  and use the Quick Curve Ruler. I have a new quilt started and have a start on the  first row... Tula Pink and Jaybird combined!!! Chit chat later, Martha.
