The start of a new quilt.... PINEAPPLE CRAZY

This is a huge quilting project.   I can't believe I am even doing it.    These blocks are paper pieced.  There are 12,000 pieces in this quilt,    I have 84 five inch blocks of 224 made so far and that doesn't count for the border blocks or the corner blocks.   I do love the pattern and results are stunning.   That is what keeps me going and sewing. 
If I get it done by February 2014 I may enter it in the local quilt show.     I will have to keep at it to get it done.   It is very time consuming!

Going in circles.....

A memory quilt for a customer.

Took an order for a memory quilt for a sweet lady who wanted to remember her son.   His T- shirts and other shirts were used as the squares.   

The finished Easy Street Quilt

Quilt top completion!

Yes, there have been lots of posts about the EASY STREET mystery quilt.  !!!

It has been a very exciting project.    It is hard to believe that Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville kicked off this mystery on October 31st and I now have a very large quilt top completely pieced.    Thanks Bonnie for the motivation, the pattern and all the instructions.    All I can say is WOW.    It has been fun and I am kind of sorry it is done.   ( ....  well sort of . )
As I was piecing I was wishing WALDO from "Where's Waldo" would have been in there somewhere but he isn't.  

I plan to quilt it on my longarm next week.   It will have a purple fabric on the back and I think oyster grey thread is the color I will use.   Binding will be purple.   I always like contrast bindings to frame the quilt.    I am thinking some feathery pattern for the quilting design.
