What do Snow and Pineapples have in common?

What do snow and pineapples have in common?

They are used in this quilt I made for Accuquilt’s blog!

Here’s how it first started- in EQ8 of course! I combined the pineapple block with an alternate star block

Then I picked out fabrics for it;

it ended up being 1 1/8yd snowflake print, 3/4yd of one light blue, 1/4yd of another light blue and 1/2yd of white.

(When I printed out the sketch I had the blocks at 12″ instead of 10″ so the Fin. size is 38″ x 38″ instead)

to make this I needed the 10″ Fin. Pineapple die, then a few dies from the 10″ QUBE and 5″ QUBE set!

Then I cut everything out (more details’s on Accuquilt’s blog post)

The blocks went together very quickly! (I really LOVE the pineapple die, it’s GREAT for scraps!!)

Then I sewed them together and added borders, easy peasy!

I quilted it with a snowflake design in white thread.

and as always, I used scraps from the front to make the backing 🙂

this quilt is going to Texas, as a friend from church moved there recently and they just had a baby mid December.

Look at Accuquilt’s blog to get more details and instructions on how I made this quilt 🙂
