As I told you a while back, I took a workshop from Gyleen Fitzgerald called “Scappy Pineapple” . Well I have finally finished 16 blocks that I think will make a nice table topper or wall hanging. Here is my finished block. I pieced it in a “controlled scrappy” fashion.
I took my colors from this focus fabric that I just love:
It’s “controlled scrappy” because although I used lots of different prints, I used the same red fabric in the centers and corners. I also saved the black to use in the last round of the pineapple. This creates a secondary design when all the blocks are put together. Here’s what it looks like.
Now I’m thinking about borders. I want to use my focus fabric for sure, but I also want a skinny inner border. I’ve narrowed the small border down to two color choices. Here’s the “audition”.
