Max's grandma, I made my son a quilt in the pineapple pattern several years ago, similar to a log cabin. I used blue bandana fabric with it. I use light weight blue chambry for the backing and poly fill batting because of the weight. I did tie it. It is weighty, but very warm. The trick on this pattern is - do not - use any denim with stretch in it. Ask me how I know.The pineapple quilt is done in graduated strips, and uses the back pocket of a man's jeans. Womens and children's pockets are too small. A friend and I made a quilt in early June for a friend celebrating an 80th birthday, and we combined denim and cotton squares and frayed the edges, we made it so it is reversible. To compensate for the denim weight we put three layers of cotton together for the cotton patches. I have the patterns for both if you would like them, just pm. me
