November OMG - Pineapple Splash

I got all 25 blocks set into a real beauty! After getting it all pieced together, I have decided I Really want this quilt in a much larger size. It turned out as a twin bed size and it is calling out to me to become bigger!

Tell Me What You Think? Would You Make It Larger?

The original pattern "Star Spangled Pineapple" is by Amanda Niederhauser of Jedi Craft Girl. As you can see, I omitted the pinwheels and used a slightly off-centered setting for the pineapples. They turned out so Lovely!

I will be linking up today with Patty at Elm Street Quilts to share my Monthly Quilting Success in her One Monthly Goal setting party and with Susan at Quilt Fabrication to celebrate HER 100th Midweek Makers event! Go see all the beautiful projects shared on their links!

And I must not forget Jennifer at The Inquiring Quilter in her Wednesday Wait Loss!

Muted Tones for Autumn Guild Quilt~

Remember these fabrics from the Rescue Pile at my Very 1st Guild Meeting?

Some from the pile were used for the Quilt Guild Block of the Month! November 2017 block was the Slanted Diamonds Block courtesy of Quilter's Cache and Marcia Hohn.

Muted hues in blue, green, tan, browns and red in light, medium and dark tones were used by our guild members to separate the rows to form the slanted diamonds.

I chose to use some of the Blue, Brown and Greens I found in the Rescue Pile~

                 

The squares I made were entered into the monthly drawing at the Guild Meeting. The Lucky Winner received ALL of the Month of the Blocks made! How exciting! Isn't this collection going to become the most lovely Quilt!?

I did not win the drawing, so I'm hoping the recipient will bring it in for show and tell once it is complete~

Some fun link ups I'm connecting with are  Main Crush Monday's, Sew Cute Tuesdays,  Freemotion by the River,   WIP Wednesday's,  Let's Bee Social, Midweek Makers.  Fabric Frenzy Friday, Finish it Up Friday http://mollisparkles.com/2017/01/sunday-stash-212-unicorns-and-more/, http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/ and Finished or Not Friday.   

Pineapple Tropics ~ November's Goal

Intention was to have this quilt made for the summer months this year, but it looks like it will be bringing a little summer time later in the year! I am using a pattern "Star Spangled Pineapple" from Amanda Niederhauser at Jedi Craft Girl. Although not exact a true to the pattern, it is still truly a Star of a Quilt!

       

 I am preparing 25 blocks in 5 x 5 Row setting and attempting to stagger them a bit. Wish me Much Sewing to get this completed for the month of November!

Sharing with Patty and all of our quilty friends at Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal - November~ It's not too late to join her in all the quilting successes!

What a more perfect way to use some of the rescue pile fabrics for the Quilt Guild Block of the Month! November 2017 block is the Slanted Diamonds Block courtesy of Quilter's Cache and Marcia Hohn.

Muted hues in blue, green, tan, browns and red in light, medium and dark tones are used by our guild group to separate the rows to form the slanted diamonds.
