Quilt finish day! This is one of my favorite quilts ever, I think. It's a 5'x5' throw made of shirting fabrics I'd collected. Some came from random fabric sales and others came from a friend who graciously gave me the stash she was too old to use.
Foundation-paper pieced, hand-quilted.
I don't yet have a better name for it than Shirting Pineapple, we'll see. #quilting #quiltsofMastodon #quilt
I am so glad I decided to take some pics of it on the couch with the ancient pineapple quilt (technically comforter). I bought it for maybe $20 on sale because I knew it would keep the couch safe from the dog. There's pieces worn through and missing (but this was pieced on muslin, so the muslin is still there).
It's contrast, but it's a reminder of a life well-lived. I want that life for this new quilt. It's going to a friend and her family. I wanted something the kids and dog could use too.
