Pineapple Update
This is the box that I am throwing scraps into for my PP Pineapple. I don't EVER seem to get to the bottom of this box.
I did myself a favor and finally separated the lights from the darks. When I am bored of working on it, the box top with the lights sits down inside the green box.
These are all that I have done. I still lack 38 more. 38! Seems like it will take me a lifetime to do 38.........and that's just for the "body", I still lack the border blocks too. 43, I think. I don't have a deadline, I don't kid myself thinking I am going to finish it RIGHT NOW. This is one of my GO TO projects. Sort of like therapy sewing , you know? Ha! Therapy?? There are 37 pieces per block. When it's done, there will be over 5000 pieces.....More like insanity. but you know what? I already LOVE this quilt. I finsih 10 or 20 blocks & I just can not resist laying them out & just drooling over how much I LOVE this quilt.
QB1 asks me how I am going to quilt them (yes them, she's making one too! AND, I have enough scraps for .......oh, I don't know.........2 or 3 more?) I told her that I just wanted a nice pantograph on it. It is so incredibly busy, that any really nice quilting will be lost & never seen!
So? What do you think? How would you quilt it? Remember, I'm a little ways away from GETTING it quilted. I lack 38 body blocks & 43 border blocks. Might as well be a million!! Ha Ha!

QB1 is wishing she only lacked 38 for the body of hers! I like the light colors more now that I see them layed out.
That is one beautiful quilt, you are doing a wonderful job. It is going to be one big quilt too...
what an amazing quilt this is going to be!!!!!!
Insanity is right!!! It's gorgeous but what size are you making? good lord...it makes me want to make one. but .... I don't know...
I love this quilt!!
It makes me want to make one too but I think it takes a special kind of crazy to get that done. Or else you are a special kind of crazy after you finish it...
it is overwhelmingly fabulous!!!!
