Happy Pineapple Day!

27 June is Pineapple Day. And because today has already happened and tomorrow is actually yesterday (or something like that), I’m posting today, 28 June. Here in Canberra, it’s currently 5 degrees Celsius so I’ve been pleased to work on such a sunny, bright quilt.

Fat Quarter Shop has recently released some fabulous Pineapple Quilt Block Foundation Papers. The 12½” papers are perfect to use with Jelly Rolls/2½” strips, and if you are careful you can cut the 2½” strips in half lengthways and use them.

These papers are a great way for beginners to get started with Foundation Piecing. One thing I found was that some of the pieces in the 12½” papers were quite a lot bigger than I’m used to (my last FP project was Alison Glass’s Trinket!) and I found that one thing that helped was to put a little bit of Sewline glue on before I pressed the pieces.

A little Sewline glue helped the pieces stay put when pressed over

There were still a couple of woops moments – here’s one. Don’t you hate it when the fabric doesn’t go where it is supposed to?

Pineapple blocks always remind me of formal gardens, so this is the theme I went for in my quilt. I have a lot of lovely floral fat quarters which I’ve never quite known what to do with and this project was prefect, teamed with a set of spotty 2½” strips I’ve also had waiting for the perfect project.

Finally, I couldn’t finish this project without showing you a picture of the top draped over my NEW QUILTING FRAME!! My trusty Janome 6600P now lives on my fabulous Can-Quilt Frame and I am soooo excited.

Check out the Jolly Jabber for all the info on these new papers , and if you’re on Instagram, have a look at the #PineappleDayQuilt hashtag to see all the great quilts my fellow FQS Bloggers have created.

What fabric will you use for your Pineapple Day Quilt?
