hi brendaK yes i did my avatar quilt and dyed the fabric for it as well

I did alot of unpicking you have to concentrate to get the colours in the right places

Very pretty, graphic quilt! I've never seen that look before.

you can print a pineapple block from quilters cache http://www.quilterscache.com/P/Pineapple2Block.html
and play with colouring it in the origional i had was 2 shades of each colour a dk and a light make 2 of each. 4 blocks to a pattern then make as many as you want

Wow! I love the block. In fact it is not easy to isolate the block.
Good job.

Paper piece it!

lol - thats the issue! I cant get paper piecing! sharet

If you go to www.colourfulstitches.com, Gyleen has a great tool for pineapples. It's a plastic ruler that does everything. It has the marks to cut the strips and center squares and trimming and it's just great. I took a class recently and just loved it. She is great and doesn't mind if you contact her when you get stuck on something. Hers are scrappy pineapples but the principle is the same. There's books to go along with the ruler too. I have the book too.

Beautiful block. Love the colors. Thanks for sharing.
