How cute and the leaves are beautiful.
Congrats, Kutnso

that is toooooooooooooo kool nice job

Really pretty quilt - love the batiks! I would outline the leaves, cross hatch the pineapples, maybe straight stitch in the center of each border strip.

Love it!!!

Beautiful Quilt! I would do some sort of echo pattern.

I have no suggestions but I love the quilt

Since the inset triangles mimic the diagonal lines in the pineappples, I think that is what I'd do.

that's what I was thinking- echo quilting around them.

Oh wow. I never thought of making pineapples with those chevron strips. That is so cool.

I'd do the pineapple tops with the hand quilting.

Excellent work

Oh, love that quilt. Very nice. Looks like you have some good suggestions as to quilting. Hope to see it when it is finished.

LOVE the batiks!! And I think a closely spaced grid on the pineapple would be fabulous. Then echo around them.

I love those pineapples and the beautiful colors. If these are batiks it will be difficult to handquilt. I would machine with SITD and echo around. I like the idea of breezey swirls. Thanks for sharing the pattern name and designer. :lol:

I agree with this one....

There are some good suggestions here and I go along with the making the pineapple pop...my question is, is this a pattern I could buy or did you make it up, or what? I guess my question is, I love this pattern...how can I get it? You have done a fabulous job on this. SIL will love it!

The colors are absolutely marvelous

I agree with this also. Beautiful quilt. Love the colors.

My first thought was "echo" the pineapples. I think I will stick to that thought. Very nice quilt, by the way.

I agree with this, but since handquilting I would add SITD on the pineapple itself and the leaves. Would make the back of the quilt gorgeous.

I bought it on e-bay but I think if you google Sunshine Pineapple Quilt you will find it. It is by Vickie Stratton.

CORRECTION: It is called Sunshine Pineapple Quilt by Vickie Stratton

I agree with Holice. The gridded background will really help the pineapples stand out.

I would diagonal quilt the background then 1/4 inch in on the pineapples and the triangles then 2 soft gentle curves on the piano keys border. Nice job it is a great quilt!

I love love love it.

I adore that quilt . Love the colours .

have any of you heard of a blue ambassador sewing machine

That is so cute. I would hand quilt around each pineapple. Your sister in law is going to love it and the triangles.

I would echo quilt----quilt about 1/4"-1/2" away from the pineapples, following their shape. Then quilt 1/4"-1/2" away from the first line of quilting, and so on....

echo quilt it a finger width apart like Hawaiian quilting love the quilt I want to make one

I think I would grid the background and in the ditch the pineapples and piano key border....

I agree. I'd std the segments of the pineapple and then echo. Depending on the batting you're using and the size of the blocks you may not need anything else in those blocks. Maybe a continuous echo 1/2-1" apart to the outside of the plain areas around the pineapples???? And then I'd just do std for the balance of the quilt as well. I don't think you'd want to take away from the lovely pineapples.

I agree

I'd go around the pineapple and SID the rest. Gorgeous quilt!

Your quilt is just gorgeous...love all the beautiful colors you have in it. So bright and cheery.

I love the pattern and your colors

I agree with you to some extent. I would make an oval around the stems of the pineapple and another larger around the pineapple, then with the pineapple only atitch in the ditch of each strip then make a large grid diagonally with stitch in the ditch for seams. Love your pineapples.

Love it, the pineapples are fantastic :!:
