Pineapple Crazy and Bramble Blooms QAL


 I am still doing catch up posts. I finally finished a very long term project, Bonnie Hunter's Pineapple Crazy quilt. Another top that needs quilting! (Sorry for the poor quality of the photos) The quilt finishes about 80" X 90". Linking up with Cynthia at Quilting is More Fun than Housework.






A couple of close up photos of the individual blocks. Each block finishes at 5" and there are 45 pieces in each block. I had several quilting friends donate scraps for this project which helped with the variety.






Now to the exciting news! Audrey of the famous Quilty Folk blog is having a QAL! You can read the first post about Bramble Blooms HERE. Audrey makes the most amazing quilts and they are all her own designs. I am hoping to learn a lot through this process, especially about improv and design.


My initial fabric pull.

Possible center panel fabrics.



Happy Quilting! Rebecca

    So happy to see you're joining this QAL. I'm also working on my first fabric pull, hoping to have a center background piece ready by Monday. I think this will be a lot of fun and a great learning experience.

    I love your Pineapple quilt. The big and small colourful "square" makes it so unique. Bravo! Enjoy your newest projects. ;^)

    Your pineapple quilt is a. mazing! Goodness me, 5" blocks! Yes, I'm tempted too to join in with Audrey's BB project ... seems like good to find some fabric I’ve been hoarding – who knows why - and cut it up.

    I'm so glad you've started posting again, Rebecca. I always enjoyed your posts about your quilts, your home, your wildlife posts.
    Your pineapple Crazy Quilt is amazing! For a 5" finished block, each strip of fabric finishes at less than half an inch? What a lot of work! I love all the fabrics and colors together.
    Your chose a beautiful range of colors for Bramble Blooms. I especially like the inclusion of the butterscotchy/tans/light browns on the right, just behind the greens. I'm looking forward to seeing your flowers.
