Thank you for sharing! I am in the process re-doing those pesky pineapple blocks -- again! If the third time isn't the charm, they will be "wonky" pineapples! Trees and roads are under construction for Color My World. Too many competing priorities, too little time.terri s.
Quilting is my daily fiber therapy!

Finished piecing checkerboards and sashing. I’m very pleased with it so far. The sections blend together very well, although the colors have always photographed stronger than they actually are. I am going to finish the borders in the manner of Barbara Black’s multi-bordered quilt. I really like her finish of continued scrappiness and pattern. Looking forward to the quilting...should be lots of fun!
Dee, thank you so very much for your lessons, support, and inspiration. You are an excellent teacher, and I have learned so many new things in this Long Time Gone quilt along.Jackie

My finished top - This has been both fun and challenging - and I still have scraps! I am putting orphan blocks from my practicing into the backing - it's ready to go to the long-armer for quilting as soon as I get the top free of stray threads... Photo has lost some of the bright color of the actual top - but this shows I finished it!

My top is quilted but not yet bound. I looked at other Jen Kingwell quilt patterns for ideas for the floral border. I love how the flowers grow up out of the bottom border. I did hand appliqué (my new passion). I also sashed all around the outside of the block sections to set the center off from the border. I decided I wanted the quilting to blend in so decided not to quilt on the prints unless I had to. Most of my backgrounds are gray tones. Because I ironed most of my seams open I could not stitch in the ditch so I quilted about 1/8" away- looks pretty good! I got ideas for quilting online- check out Karen Marchetti (sp?) TQS guest years back. She has good photos of LTG she quilted. I have a Sweet 16 sit down machine and just did one block at a time so it wasn't so daunting. 8" borders makes the quilt finish at 80x80".

Peg, What a beautiful quilt you have made. I love the applique border. I am always drawn to quilts that have both applique and pieced blocks in them. Thank for sharing your sharing about the quilting. I have just started doing my quilts using Quilting In Sections techniques from Marti Michelle's
book Machine Quilt In Sections. I have a regular domestic machine, but like you said if you take in
in small parts it is not do daunting. HelenW

Thanks Dee
Just finished it up. I learned a new pinning method, how to make a pineapple block and how to draw and make the Peaky and Spike triangles while working on this quilt. The corner were a huge challenge and I am sure there is an easier way of making them than I did. Now to clean up my sewing room so I can get going on my next adventure in Quilting.Susan Skeel

Started late, but did get my top done. I opted to do a plain border that let me fit this into a quilt holder in my entry way. I have a plethora of Minick and Simpson fabric, so used that, along with a light gray Grunge for the sashing. Dee's tip about not sewing all of the lines through the paper for the pineapple blocks was brilliant, since I really have a hard time getting that paper off. Not with her method though.

Trank you Helen. I quilted the sections with backing and batting larger then the section. But i stopped quilting about half an Inch away from the ends. Flippend backing and batting away from the top. Joined the top sections with 1/4 inch seam … cut away overlayed batting and Hand Stiched the batting together. Than joined the backing by Hand. Does this make sense to you? Greetings from Germany
