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....

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 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.

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.
