I have made this for my SIL and want to hand quilt it. How would you quilt it? All suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

did you intend to attach a pic?

Sorry. I forgot the picture first time.

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

I love it! Will you be machine quilting or by hand?

This one will be by hand.

I think I would echo the pineapples, it would make them pop out more. Nice quilt.

in tbe ditch around the pineapple to give them definitation and grid the backgrund and ditch the borders.

Do you mean like a cross hatch in the background? I think that is what they call it.

Love the pineapple. I think you should echo them w/ quilting

I would std the pineapple and then echo around it.

Love the bright colors! Very cute.
Since pineapple have a natural grid to them, I would probably grid the pineapples, echo once or twice around them and then since it makes me think of a tropical breeze ... draw kind of flowy curly cues in the background.

SITD for the pineapple and its top.
Fine stipple on white background.
SITD for the rest.

I am going to hand quilt this & although I have hand stippled before it wasn't a fine stipple.

Sorry! yes, stippling wouldn't really be for hand quilting .... the suggestion of little curly air breeze waves sounds good to me!

I love it!

I love your quilt! I agree... I would echo the pineapples to make them pop! Please post again so we can see it quilted!

Very pretty, love the bright colors

Your getting alot of great ideas :thumbup: I love the pattern.
Can't wait to see it finished. Good luck. Its a beauty.

I'm sure it will be a while but I will when it is done. I would like to have it done by July.

That is so neat. I would probably echo quilt the blocks.

Oh love it....sounds like you have a lot of great ideas for quilting.
Where did you find the pattern?

no idea on how to quilt it, but I love the colors! Great job! :thumbup:

Really pretty--I love it!

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...

Love the quilt. I agree that echo quilting would look good.

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.

ditto :)

Echo the pineapples....it looks beautiful - thanks for sharing.

I agree.
Traditional

I love this. Did you have a pattern? If so please post the name, I would love to do this with the pineapples in shades of yellow.

I absolutely LOVE this quilt, the pattern and the colors. I'm not experienced enough to know how to quilt it, but I think the wavey swirly sounds good.
I may have to get this pattern.

I agree! Love all the colors together. Great job.
