Another milestone was finishing this top... a great men's or picnic quilt... The denim came from a giant "score" of denim from Cone Mills in North Carolina, gotten when I lived near there - I love using it mixed with cotton in these great cuddle quilts - heavy but not too heavy, snuggly - just perfect... The four-patch blocks were gifted to me by someone - I have no idea who - so this is pretty much a cost-free top - and I love the way the green plays against the blue denim... next to quilt..
What a great quilty Sunday ! Hope everyone else had as much fun as I did!

I've been itching to make your Pineapple - I even DREAMED about it last night and was disapointed when waking that it wasn't started! Silly. Your's is a beauty - I HAVE wondered if it was heavy - thanks for that comment as well.
Hey, I just attended Bonnie's class in Denver, Shirttails, but I BOUGHT the BOOK that has this Pineapple - jeeesh - she says hers was 12,000 pieces.
I'm in the middle of Pineapple Crazy. So far I have all the pineapples made and about a quarter of the border blocks. I am debating making it larger for my king bed but was worried about the weight.
What do you think? Too heavy for a king? I would love to hear your opinion.
Now to what I should have said first. Your top is great! I love that no matter what your scraps look like the top just sparkles.
When I started this project all of my friends thoughts was bonkers, but now they all want to make at least a small version.
It looks great, the border really adds so much to it!
Your quilts look fabulous. I agree celebrate each finish whether big or little. Thanks for sharing.
Very impressive! That pineapple quilt must have taken a long time.
Oh me oh my...the pineapple crazies and crazy amazing. I LOVE it and it's making me wish I would have picked that quilt to finish!!!
