As the end of June is almost here, it's time for a bit of a wrap-up for the month of June. Angela chose BLUES for our Rainbow Scrap Color for the month and that meant time to pull out Rainbow Pineapple blocks, a quilt I started in 2023. Here are the three pineapple blocks I managed this month.

I thought it might be fun to see what all of my 2024 blocks look like together.

You may recall I won a Go! Baby AccuQuilt Cutter in 2022. I then decided to join the AccuQuilt Club at my LQS to learn about my "new toy". This past month, for Summer and all the Patriotic Holidays during Summer, it was suggested we make the Tumbler Flag using whatever size tumbler we have. Well, a 4-1/2" tumbler was included with the Go! Baby so that's what I used. Of course, I went scrappy. It turned out a bit larger than I anticipated. The pattern says it finishes at 28" x 48".

So see!!?? I got a finish! I got a finish! Yay me!!!! This sweet quilt will hang in the hallway until after Labor Day. (The blue field of stars keeps with the June RSC theme! *wink*)
Wishing you a terrific final June weekend. We've had a bit of rain here in the St. Louis area and a little cooler temps lately. Hopefully the weather will be cool enough for some greatly missed cook-outs in the near future!
Linking up with all the Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilters on Angela's blog, SoScrappy.
Your rainbow of pineapples is fun as can be, Susie! And I love your tumbler flag. Looks like it went together really nicely!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe how easily that tumbler flag went together. It was a super fun project! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYes, that is a gorgeous finish, Susie. And I'm in awe of your pineapple blocks there altogether. I can't look at them too long because it makes me want to make some too, sigh. I love seeing the embroideries...very special. Happy continued stitching from me!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jocelyn. While I'm loving the pineapple blocks, I'll be glad when I've made my 60. Slowly but surely I'm getting there!
DeleteWhat a fun pattern! The tumblers make it look like the stripes are waving in the wind. Such a fun way to put your new toy to good use.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really love my tumbler flag and I've been showing it off at every show 'n' tell I can! Lol! Hope you made some good progress on your hexies over this weekend!
DeleteOoh! I really like your tumbler flag wall hanging. My AccuQuilt cutter came with a flying geese die. I need to find a pattern I like so I can use it. Is your pineapple block pattern commercially available? Could you share the name and designer! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judy. The pineapple pattern I'm basing my quilt on is Mod Pineapples. It is a QCR quilt -- Quick Curve Ruler. I bought the ruler years ago and now they have a mini one too. My friend bought that one for me. They are super easy to use and the directions are pretty clear, although I can botch up even the easiest patterns! Lol!
DeleteI do like those blue pineapples and don't they all look lovely together. Great finish, the quilting works really well, enjoy flying your flag! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by, Lin. I am loving the pineapples. Hope I can find enough aqua for July's batch.
DeleteLove your pineapples, such fun design. Pretty patriotic quilt, it looks great with the tumblers. Congrats on the finish! Happy July 4th!
ReplyDeleteI was amazed at how easily the tumblers went together. That AccuQuilt really made it easy! I had plenty of red scraps and also some large star fabric so easy, peasy! Now on to aqua!
DeleteSo much cuteness, Susie. I adore the pineapple blocks; it is hard for me to chose which is my favorite color. Wow on the flag quilt!!! It is a stunner. Love the stripey binding-perfection!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melissa, for the sweet comments. That stripey binding fabric was a gift from my BFF so it is especially wonderful to me. Now to dig into my aqua scraps for RSC Pineapple this month!
DeleteYour flag looks great! glad those pineapples are now decently dressed!
ReplyDeleteYes, Susan, I managed to get those tops on the pineapples! Lol! Thanks for stopping by. Time to look for aqua scraps for the next set of pineapples.
DeleteLove Love Love your scrappy Pineapples!! that is going to be such a fun quilt!! Your Accuquilt flag projects is awesome!! and perfect timing!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Alycia. I did feel the push to get that flag done in time. I've got another patriotic quilt marked for quilting and just need to get a backing put together to get going on it. Hopefully before Labor Day and the end of summer! Ha!
DeleteCongrats on your timely R/W/B Tumbler quilt and thanks for sharing the updated Pineapple progress!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely made my own imposed deadline on the flag quilt. Now to get a backing ready for another patriotic quilt I've got in the works. It's marked for quilting, just need to finish getting it ready. Let's shoot for before Labor Day and the end of summer! Lol!
