After working on this quilt on and off for over 2 years, the quilt my husband made me make is finally finished! The reason I call the quilt this is because when I started making the pineapple blocks, I had only planned on making enough for a wall hanging. My husband came into my hidey hole and saw it hanging on my design wall and said it would make a really nice quilt for our bed. At that point I started teasing him and telling people he made me make the quilt. I am not sorry at all!! I…

I love the look of Pineapple Quilt blocks! I have made the block with paper templates and with trim tools and I have loved how the block turned out both times. But, I just knew there had to be a way to make this block with just your regular old quilt ruler! I used only…

After finishing this quilt top the other day, I pulled out another box with a UFO and decided to continue working on this project. Unfortu...

This is probably the most colorful quilt I have done, to date! It's a fun mix of applique, half square triangles, and strips (find the pattern here!!). A little backstory here...a customer reached out to me a few years ago about a Hawaiian quilt for her daughter. They had lived in Hawaii for several years and she had been collecting fabric for a decade to one day make her something special. So, she sent me a HUGE box of fabric that even included clothing from loved ones. A big beautiful…

I'm back today with a tutorial on how I made my Pineapple Quilt Block. You can find other tutorials with a Google search, but I haven't seen one using this method. I found it quite easy and accurate. As I mentioned in my last post, I seem to have discarded the fabric requirement list for this quilt. Sorry about that! I know for the print fabrics, I needed more than 1/2 yard {more like 3/4} for the prints that run diagonally through the center as there are more blocks with those colors. Note…

Say that three times fast! By popular demand! Now you can create this joyful and fresh quilt with a myriad of pineapples using Kimberly’s Solid-ish fabric line or fabrics from your own stash! Includes all the directions and pattern pieces you’ll need (some of the applique patterns need to be enlarged by 200%, which can easily be done at your local copy store).

Now that I'm done with my Farmer's Wife quilt for a while, I figured it was okay to pick up another crazy, intense, long-term project. Well, at least for me it is :) I started these blocks at the beginning of February when I attended Quilt Bliss (a quilting retreat in Heber, UT.). These paper-pieced Pineapple blocks are really fun to make and kinda make my heart sing! My green stash has needed a little "refreshing" lately so I picked up a bunch of 2" strips the other day while I was at work…

After finishing this quilt top the other day, I pulled out another box with a UFO and decided to continue working on this project. Unfortunately, this project had just 4 blocks finished and a few others started. I gathered some more fabrics so there is more of a variety, and have been working on more blocks. This meant a trip to the quilt shop with the gift certificate my husband gave to me for Christmas! These beauties were added to what I already had. No matter how hard I try... I just…

The Pineapple quilt block is a variation of the Log Cabin block, but with eight “logs” or strips around a center square instead of four. There are great tools to help you sew a Pineapple quilt block!
