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.

Sorry. I forgot the picture first time.

The background is really a little darker than cream color tone on tone. (not white)

:lol:

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!

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.
