Finally making some progress...

There is not a lot of posting going on here, so you must be as busy as I have been with work, family, a raging sinus infection and other projects.  I have finally come back to the nine patch pineapple.  I put all of my units together at my workstation so that I could start work.  In the beginning, I was a little worried about how my units were coming out...quite a few were a little wonky, but I perservered.  Actually, the blocks look pretty good.  So they are my priority for this week.  I can hardly wait to see them up on the design wall.  How are you guys doing?

NPP Fabric Selections

I have spent the last several hours going through my Kaffe Fassett stash to find fabrics for the nine patch pineapple (npp) quilt.  I initially thought I would go with blue fabrics with a cream background.  But after looking at the fabric, it is more a sapphire/purple color and I like the color combinations.  Kaffe Fassett fabric just seems to blend together regardless of the pattern.  I think I will go with a white background instead of the cream.  The contrast will be more dynamic.  I found 10 fabrics that I like.  I ordered a few more just in case, so when they come in I will post another picture.  Here is a picture of what I have picked out so far.  I can't wait to see everyone's selections.  This

Nine Patch Pineapple

I am excited to be a part of the sew along.  I have been looking through my stash to find the right fabric.  I think I am going with Kaffe Fassett blues and cream.  I have been reading and re-reading the pattern to make sure I understand all of the instructions.  I just hope my technology limitations do not get in the way.  I like the idea of the blog set up for the sew along.  I will post pictures of my fabric selections before the weekend is over.  Let's get started and good luck to everyone.
