This is gorgeous! I'm sorry it took me so long to check it out! I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you always checking my quilting blog, and here I am dropping the ball!
Not too crazy about paper piecing. You mentioned you have some pineapple squares done that way. There was a woman in my old Quilt Bee who paper pieced the most amazing squares of birds! They were wonderful! That was the only time I wished I didn't have a negative attitude about paper piecing. It's an old fashioned method, and I am usually all about older ways of doing things. Don't know what turned me off to it. I would LOVE to see your pineapple squares some time too. I bet putting them together into a quilt will be easier than what I'm about to do! :-)
This blog is mostly an archive of my past and present quilt projects. I started "quilting" in 1984 when I made a bluejean quilt for my son. For about 10 years I did nothing but cut 6 inch squares and sew them into small patchwork lap quilts that were very badly made and gave them as gifts to everyone I knew. Never actually quilted any of them...always tied them. My sister, Margaret bought me all the gagets a modern quilter uses....cutting table, mat, ruler, rotary cutter and I finally learned that quilting could be fun. What a nice sister I have! The show "Simply Quilts" was the next step in my quilt education and I learned so much and tried so many things once I began watching. What a blessing Alex Anderson and her show was to the beginning quilter! What I post in this blog is what I enjoy doing! I finally feel like a "quilter" even though I have much to learn and still am not good at the actual quilting process! That's why they invented long arm quilting machines and people who can use them!
