I was so happy to pull up Sewcanshe and find that my mini pineapple quilt had won the Show Off Saturday Linky Party. Pineapple's seem to appeal to people. I like them because they are a symbol for welcome. |
Sooooo. I upped the size of the squares to 2 1/2 inches, 2 inches finished, and this is what I came up with. There was supposed to be more of the black and white in the binding, but I misfigured. |
And now my original pineapple mini has a big sister. The finished size of the larger one is about 12 1/2 inches by 18 1/2 inches. |
Now, this is my minis for 2018 wall. I know it's a bit excessive. I think that I'm doing all these small projects as a wall of procrastinating getting back to my large quilts. I must say though, I'm really looking forward to SewCanShe's March mini. I will hook up again with the Show Off Saturday Link Party. It's fun to look at, and to participate in, take a look. (I also have a houses mini and a spools mini on my list of to do's. I have no idea where I will put them all. Maybe, in the hall) |
Bee In My Bonnet's beelori1 has a tutorial for string blocks on her blog. I have tried string blocks before, and pretty much hated the whole process, but I thought I'd give it another try her way. I still don't love making them, but I didn't hate it as much and I plan to make more to see if they grow on me. After all, I love how they look. |
