Orange Pineapple Parfait

I couldn't resist these luscious batiks when I found them listed in an assortment bundle at Goodwill.com. Bright yellow and orange contrast beautifully with crisp white for today's cheerful quilt. 


Alternating Nine Patch and Flowering Snowball blocks create sharp lines and graceful curves with a nice secondary design. I stitched them all on my sweet Featherweight, Annie, and it didn't take long for these 12” blocks. I chose white on white vine print backing and binding.


Orange Pineapple Parfait

I switched to the Janome to quilt, using bright yellow thread on top and white underneath. I sewed a simple straight stitch, following the curves for emphasis. Binding was secured with a blanket stitch in yellow.




Orange Pineapple Parfait is 60” square and looks good enough to eat!
