Hi!
I have been working to finish off this quilt top of liberty patchwork courthouse quilt. It is so divine to work with these fabrics and I can’t wait to start hand-quilting it!
Pineapple Log Cabin Paper Foundation Piecing Mini Quilt
I have been working with my mini for the Schnitzel & Boo quilt swap. This time I decide to try a pineapple log cabin block using paper piecing technique. Here are the process photo.
I have been pondering on what mini should I make ever since I got my partner’s detail. Not until recently, I made the decision to go with a mini pineapple log cabin block. This was totally inspired by the scrappy pineapple quilt Amanda was working on. Amanda has finished her 101 Scrappy project — and am thinking of starting mine!!!! This — maybe the first of many scrappy finishes. I am not sure how long I will take but I am currently loving making a dent through my stash with these pineapple blocks!!!! so I see a lot more fun in the future while I finish my 101 scrappy project!
The blocks are very time-consuming, but I love the finish so much!!
I prep all little pieces before sewing them in chain piece 4 at a time.
Fabrics are various scraps from my stash.
If you are looking for fabrics, I would love to recommend online shopping HERE> I love their customer service, cheap capped international shipping (since I am an international) and their fabric bundle comes in such a beautiful package.

If you are interested in watching me as I sew through four of the blocks, I uploaded a video on Youtube. The quality of the video is a bit bad as I just found out I was recording in night mode! O well, lesson learnt for next time. You might be able to pick up some tips there. So, head along and watch me babbling for 18 minutes! There is a fast forward part as well, which I found to be fun to watch!
Here is the link to the tutorial for the portable design boards I use.

Hi!
A couple of months ago I made this quilt but never got to share with you here on the blog.
This was a really super quick quilt. Big blocks and no measurements really. I just slash and sew – then trim to size. I love this line, super cute for unisex babies. The fabrics are all from Giraffe Crossing by Riley Blake.
I really enjoyed the simple stippling on this quilt.
The backing with leftover strips. All random. No measurements really.
I guess nothing beats stripey binding! Yeah?
Baby quilts are fun, quick and much loved. Now the quilt lives with a cute baby and am so happy to see it being used.
Hugs,
Amira
