Look at me! We are not anywhere close to the end of the month and my yellow pineapples are done! In case you haven't been following along on my pineapple journey, I started this project at the start of RSC2023. I managed to make 30 of the blocks when I thought I'd better come up with a plan. That's when I came up with a queen-sized quilt for the guest room because pineapples were a symbol of hospitality in history.
And now you know why I'm still making pineapple blocks again this year. Here are this month's RSC yellow pineapples.
Another long project that I've been working on is Red Threads from Sentimental Studios. I'm using brown thread instead of red and I'm stitching my blocks on kind of a pukey brown but I think the final project will be pretty. All the blocks will eventually have flying geese sashing with Kansas Troubles/Kim Diehl vibey fabrics.
Here are the latest finished blocks that I don't believe I've shared yet.
I'll leave you with that photo. I've always thought it was greeting me but I can see it waving good-bye too! Hope you have a great weekend. Our weather is great and I plan on cleaning out my car today!

Your scrappy pineapples are always so fun to see! That's going to be a great quilt. The embroidery blocks are pretty, too - flying geese for washing and orders sounds fun. Beautiful weather here, too - we've just been getting the back porch ready for outdoor time!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to hear that "pineapples were a symbol of hospitality in history." They are all looking great - wonder how many you have now??
ReplyDeleteVery sweet little stitcheries...funny you call that pukey brown....Id call it a beige I think...but a good background. Jigsaws can be fun too - the cactus makes me smile too....LOL
Those pineapples make me smile every time you make a new batch. This will be a wonderful quilt for your guest room.
ReplyDeleteMore lovely pineapples and beautiful stitching. Happy cactus too! Have a lovely week. xx
ReplyDeleteIt will take a lot of pineapple blocks to make a queen sized quilt. Three each month is manageable and you have them done by mid month! Woohoo! I like seeing your little embroideries each week too. Those little birds are so cute. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteYour pineapples are so cool!! I love them! What a great puzzle - that looks very complicated.
ReplyDeleteand the cactus - too cute!!!
I always admire your pretty stitchery blocks. And your pineapple field is growing, you certainly seem to enjoy making them. Wonder how many more you need to cultivate?
