My Pineapple Quilt

I have a love affair with batik fabrics. This is one of my very first quilts I made. It remains one of my most favorite today. I have since made some very complex and diverse quilts but this one always

makes me smile. I remember spending hours picking out just the right fabrics. The colors had to be warm, tropical and inviting. I love Hawaii and warm, tropical and inviting describes how I feel about the islands. Deciding how I would quilt the quilt. Learning how to stipple. Picking out an exciting backing. Ah yes it has to be the tropical birds for the back. That would make a sweet surprise.

Yes this quilt was a learning experience and what fun I had. The things I learned enabled me to move on and try new and different styles.
