Karen came to visit yesterday afternoon and brought some new fabrics for my FigTree collection. This is the next quilt I'd like to start - my version is going to be scrappy and multi-coloured. The taupe floral is for the inner border between the nine-patch stars, the spot is for the sashings between the star blocks and the text is for the background of the checkboard blocks.
Karen took 5 quilts home with her for quilting, including Aviatrix Medallion. So happy with how this quilt turned out and am looking forward to seeing it finished.
The backing is from Spotlight.

| The Quilt Top so far |
The blank spaces in the quilt top are to be filled with Pineapple Blocks and Checkerboard Filler Blocks. There are 16 Foundation Paper Pieced Pineapple Blocks to be made and I made a practice one out of Bonnie and Camille scraps
before making the first out of my Alison Glass fabrics.
Recently I've made some Pineapple Blocks using Marti Mitchell templates but, for me, the foundation-pieced blocks turned out much better. Either way, they are fiddly to make but they look terrific. These blocks are 5" finished and the strips are 1/2" wide finished.
