something new started...


I fell in love with this pattern the minute I saw it. 
It wasn't on the radar of projects to start, but here I am starting another long term quilt.
I read through the book and decided that I would start with my least favorite blocks.
Paper piecing. Ugh....


I did 2 a day last week. I timed one and it took me an hour. That is just the sewing part. There is also the step of removing the paper from the back.
I need 8 more. I'll keep plugging away. I took my smallest chunks, and strips and cut them up. I went an 1/8 inch bigger and that seems to be working well for me.

This quilt is a stack of blocks again. I'm not sure how many more blocks I need.
Back to sewing the pineapple blocks!
