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.
The following stars are from Piece 'n Play

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

Great scrappy quilt - double UGH on the PP pineapples! Love the way that quilt is photographed on that gorgeous cover! Happy piecing.
Is there a pattern for the "double stars"? I am amazed at the amount of people doing Long Time Gone----Your pineapples are beautiful
Wowie zowie! Look at those beautiful pineapple blocks! So smart to start with least favorite (and quite numerous too). Your shadow star blocks really look good, I like the asymmetrical set!
You have a bunch of posts! Yay, you're back! I love your stuff.. the shadow stars are so cool. I can imagine them being a pain, though. I'm impressed you have that many made. I love the cute sheep quilt for the baby! Love your purples. Love the quilts in the tent. Keep writing, please.
I LOVE these 2 blocks/tops!! A pineapple quilt has always been on my list, but it may be a while. After I made my log cabin the two are very similar AND just as time consuming.
