    I don't know how to advise you to quilt this, but this is absolutely a gorgeous, adorable quilt. I love the colors and the friendliness and hospitality that pineapples impart. Thank you for sharing.

    I like QUILTE, her idea is good! Also very nice quilt! Oh. It is anice idea but lots of work for hand quilting . In that case I like the breezy curls for the background! :D

    I absolutely love your quilt. Batiks are a little hard to needle through, so hand quilting will be a little bit strenuous.

    That being said, I would stitch in the ditch all the batik seams in the pineapples and quilt around each one and some of the leaves (All of them if you can). In the white background I would do a diamond cross hatch. Start with a line from corner to corner, each way. Then an inch apart from there.

    Good luck with your quilting...

    I actually bought it on e-bay but it is called Sunshine Pineapple Quilt by Vickie Stratton. My SIL saw it & loved it so I am doing it as a gift to her.
