And a cheeky piece of cheddar left over from another quilt called out from my shelves and so I introduced them and ended up with these blocks.
This is the Pineapple Blossom pattern from the talented Bonnie Hunter. You can find it here. These blocks are quite large and loud and I like them that way - LOL!
I'm using 2 1/2" strips and the blocks are 12". My plan is to do 16 of these and add a border. And you get bonus pieces with this pattern!
I trimmed these HST to 3 1/2" but I think I'm going to make them even smaller and work them into some placemats. The brights would look good with my collection of Fiestaware dishes. At last count I have 14 different colors so when I set the table it looks a lot like my quilts - lots of different bright colors.
Hope you have a productive week. I always start Monday with the best of intentions, but don't usually get everything done I plan. but that is okay. I figure every thing you do get done, no matter how small contributes to getting something finished... someday!
Happy stitching-

Oh, how delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics look so great. I loved making Bonnie Hunt's Pineapple Blossom. Those scrap HSTs will be great with your Fiestaware.

ReplyDeleteGood listening skills are important. Glad you were paying attention when the prints spoke up! Love that pattern of Bonnie's and the bonus triangles. Two projects in one!
