    Default Pineapple Quilt top

    I just finished another Pineapple quilt. Admittedly this one was much easier and far less waste fabric using my Accuquilt die ti make this one. Now to decided on a border or no border. I am essentially out of the green but am open to other thoughts. I haven't decided yet on how I will quilt it. Right now I am just excited on having this much finished.

    Love your pineapple quilt. It's just beautiful in it's two-color simplicity. Please give us an update when you decide on your binding choice.

    Beautiful greens! My favorite color. When are you putting it in the mail to me, hehe? It is a beautiful quilt and I think it will look good with or without a border. I think a binding in green would be enough to frame it.

    Love your quilt! I have added the pineapple Accuquilt die on my wish list after seeing how beautiful your quilt turned out.

    Lovely top! I might go with a white and green patterned border if you need it bigger, if not, just a binding.

    Oh, how pretty! I like the two-color style and in this green and white, it looks fresh and sweet. I'm glad you had less fussing with the die cut pieces. Great job!

    As for borders, I'm no help. I usually just about have a cow over my borders and binding - it can take weeks.

    This is so pretty! I love two color quilts! A border would look nice if you need it larger but I think I would search for the same green fabric you used here, to keep it two color. Just my opinion anyway. It sure came out nice.

    Beautiful top and I think a darker green for the border and binding would be perfect. Great work.
