All about patchwork

Besides working on some other projects, I have been making pineapple quilt blocks. So far I've completed three of these pineapple quilt blocks of this.

At the same time I have been searching various quilts made with pineapple quilt blocks for some inspiration for the layout and just because I like looking at them. All these quilts with pineapple quilt blocks look wonderful to me and I collected some of these quilts here so that you may get inspired as well. Honestly, pineapple quilt blocks require a great deal of time to deal with since it is a slow process but it definetely worths it.

Life is hectic and I could hardly find time to sew this week. It is a pity to me but still I was able to give a try to those little cute crazy quilt blocks. It took ten minutes to finish the crazy quilt block, which is 2.5"x2.5". And it was quite proper to turn it into a pincushion. I've made several other pincushions but I can 't use them because my kids took them as toys and do not give them back. One was a turtle pincushion and quickly became favourite of my 5-year-old son. The other was a hexie pincushion and it became my 10 year old daughter's barbie doll's cushion. Alas! I hope this crazy quilt block pincushion will be mine.
You can use these super cool quilt blocks for various things, like quilts, cushions, wall hanging or a pincushion as I did.
