Pineapples and snowmen

I have not posted in a while, but I have been busy.  The last project I created is a 4 inch Pineapple block quilt.  It is 18 by 18.  I had a Batik jelly role that had been opened and about 2 inches cut off of each strip.  I cut 3 inches more  off and then cut the strips in half to 1.25.   The Yellow background was given to me by a friend for a different project.

I had just enough yellow to make  16 blocks and have a border!  I used the Creative Grids Pineapple mini trim tool. 

The next project is for a group Christmas party.  I created these in my Embroidery software and hoop!  They are about 5 inch coasters.

This is the original test stitch out.  I changed it four times before I stitched the next one. Most of the changes were just to make the stitch out flow better.
