Bella SkillBuilder Pineapple Block

in Quilting on 01/04/17

It’s the 1st of the month and do you know what that means..? It’s time for the Bella Skill Builder Quilt Along hosted by The Fat Quarter Shop. This month is the pineapple block. You can find more details on their blog the Jolly Jabber.

These blocks tested me. They weren’t overly hard, but there were LOTS of them. They are time consuming and tested my patience.

For these blocks, I used Bella Solids in the following colors – melon, honeydew, admiral blue and white. I love the color combination and how they turned out. They kind of remind me of the CBC logo – what do you think?

There are 7 blocks – 3 small and 4 large. Phew. The best advice I can give it to set aside plenty of time to complete everything. Slow and steady wins the race.

To complete the block you will need:

  • Bella Solids in 4 colors
  • Pineapple block instructions
  • Creative Grids non slip ruler and Pineapple Trim Tool.
  • Cutting Mat
  • Olfa Rotary cutter
  • Sewing machine and iron

This was my first time using the Pineapple Trim Tool. It was easy to navigate and if you are a newbie like me you will find the block instructions to be helpful and guide you through using the tool.  I have been a fan of Creative Grids rulers for quite some time, but I am now a big fan of the Pineapple Trim Tool.

Head over to the Jolly Jabber blog to download the block and to see the complete list of bloggers taking part. They also have a FAQ page with tons of information about the Quilt Along.

Happy Sewing!

My entry for this week’s design challenge @spoon My entry for this week’s design challenge @spoonflower. Browns are definitely not my favorite color these days, but the challenge was “earth tones” and using just 4 colors. 

Ps. This started as a super simple block print and then I scanned it into the computer and drew the pattern in illustrator. 

If you have a moment you can head over to spoonflower to vote. ❤️✔️

I am so glad it’s the weekend. How about you? I’m off prompt for the month and here is #carvedecember, Day 7 and the prompt for “Long”. I really like structured, linear and streamlined prints. With this challenge, I am playing around and trying new things.

So many people have asked me about my process. One So many people have asked me about my process. One tip is that I love using a grid to create the overall design and keep the block print streamlined. Here’s how you go about it. #carvedecember #carvedecember2022 #blockprinting #haberdasheryfun #blockprinted #speedballink

Day 5 for #carvedecember is “Plain”. I’m not Day 5 for #carvedecember is “Plain”. I’m not a huge fan of florals, and for some reason this shape came to mind. By itself it is kinda boring/ plain. In a repeat design it definitely comes alive. 

What is your printing process? Do you like all an over scattered or a grid pattern? My favorite way to work is using a pencil grid and then making a very linear and streamlined print.
