Here I go (actually working on something)
Okay, I found a roll of this paper like stuff that seems slightly
firmer/thicker than pattern tissue paper that my garment patterns come printed on -- it waas just hanging out in the closet that serves as my pantry. Must have been left by someone who previously lived here but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. I played a connec the dots version of tracing the Pineapple Paper piecing that I was talking about in another thread (dot all the intersections, then connect them with straight lines using a ruler -- having to rotate it along the line of symmetry to get where the binding was in my way). I've picked out my three fabrics from my stash scraps, cut some strips, and am about to start pinning and stitching. I hope to finish the single block tonight before hubby gets home from teaching his night class and if I do, I'll take a digital of it and try to find a place I can put it up to share. If I finish tonight, you'll be hearing from me with a happy dance request. Here goes, Tricia |

HAPPY DANCING WAS Here I go (actually working on something)
Once I figured out what I was doing and got into a routine with the
different steps I did enjoy myself a lot. It felt good to be creating. Now I gotta figure out what to do with the completed block.... Hmm... T. |

Check out medallion quilts (Jinny Beyer in particular), then you could
use your pineapple as the centre and do some simple pieced plus some 'just fabric' borders around it to make ... whatever! ..

Good for you. You'll love it - it's a most attractive block.
