Crushed Pineapple, Part 1: Confetti Quilting

2/10/2009

Crushed Pineapple.  That's what I'm going to call this quilt.

​It started as an experiment in using all the tiny strips I cut from my scraps.  These pineapple blocks (I made 30 of them) are truly tiny, made from 1-inch and 1 1/2-inch strips.
​First, I pulled out strips that I had in quantity:  a blue, a yellow, and a pink.  These I used to make rather structured blocks, like this one at right, and the blue one above.  That pretty much exhausted my supply of light 1 1/2-inch strips and dark 1-inch strips.

​So then I started making pineapples with dark corners and light sides. Since my supply of strips was now very assorted, these blocks are much more random in color.
It was fun for about 30 blocks, but honestly, after a while, it started to be tedious.  I was arranging the blocks on my design wall as I made them, and seeing how long it took for those 4-inch blocks to add up to any size at all was pretty discouraging. ​

Clearly, I was NOT going to make an entire quilt from miniature pineapples. 

​To be continued .......
