too much fruit...

Just as I expected, my pineapple quilt is becoming a bit of an endurance test. It was suggested that I sew blocks together as I finish them but this is too dangerous a proposition. Am already looking at the completed ones and thinking that they would make a great crib quilt or table runner and placemats. After all, a white-based quilted item is always practical for babies and food :((  !!##$@!!!

Another issue is that for some strange mathematical reason (read miscalculation), I am making 122 blocks so am struggling a bit with the layout. To actually use on a bed- the rectangular shape is a better bet but to look at- the square one seems more appealing right now. What is keeping me going is that the finished blocks look pretty good and I do want to prove to myself that I can show some discipline and complete this quilt...

On a more positive note, to break up this routine I am very excited to be taking a class in the next couple of days with Pamela Allen whose amazing work is the antithesis of the pineapple quilt. There is not a ruler to be found on the materials list! You can see more images of this wonderful artist's creations here. Will definitely write about the experience as am sure it will be a memorable one. Have a great weekend everyone!
