Today, I finished the scrappy pineapple block baby quilt that I started back in April. I made it to demonstrate the Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool for my quilt guild. I gave the demo at our June meeting so I could finally finish the blocks I had made for step-outs and complete the quilt.
I am just loving this bright and cheery yellow and orange quilt made with fabrics from my scrap bins. And, the blue fabric used for the centers and binding is the perfect complement to make this quilt pop. Several of the fabrics I used featured circles, so I wanted to use a machine quilting pattern that featured circles. I ended up choosing Sew Shabby Quilting's Bubble Glitter pattern.
I still had quite a bit of yellow and orange fabric left after making the quilt top, so I decided to 'frankenstein' the backing, and pieced the backing using the remaining fabric. I managed to use it all except for the yellow zig zag fabric, so I'm still making progress on reducing the fabrics in my scrap bins. I just love a scrappy pieced backing - it's like 2 quilts in 1!
Happy Quilting!
