Pineapple Tidbits

In my spare time I've been sorting and cutting remnants left from all those quilts I finished last year. These little narrow bits were perfect for the Pineapple block.


Using natural muslin made the colorful prints seem even brighter. The nine blocks went pretty quickly considering there are lots of pieces in there. I added a 4” border of aqua to finish this wall hanging at 40” square.


Natural thread was used to channel quilt in straight stitch 1” apart. Pineapple Tidbits is so pretty hanging in my hallway. I can see using this die often for scrap busting those pieces I just can't seem to toss. I'm already working on it!


Accuquilt dies used:
55485 Pineapple BOB 10” finished
55054 Strips 4” finished
55017 Strips 2” finished



BE YOURSELF.
People don't have to like you,
and you don't have to care.
