These pineapple blossom blocks are for the very lovely Catherine, they were so fun to do:
Also sending her these clever bonus blocks you get from following the tutorial:
Sometimes, though, things go horribly wrong. This is my third attempt at this block and it's not going well. I'm giving it one more go and then throwing in the towel!
Today though I was getting on with basting this quilt I'm making for Cindy (I used this pattern):
while chatting away to this little wriggly onlooker:
I'm going to be hand quilting it, using these lovely DMC perle threads - this and the quilt fabrics are all available at Fluffy Sheep Quilting

Lucy you never cease to amaze me with your productivity. Such lovely blocks I'd give up after one attempt I can't believe you've done 3. Sarah x
I love getting those bonus blocks,I have not made this Pineapple Blossoms before but I guess it is now on my list, time to pick through my stash. mmmm
I love your bee blocks but your Fluffy Sheep quilt took my breath away! Stunning! (Lois is soooooo cute!!)
I love your bee blocks and quilt but Lois took my breathe away - hehe - sorry the others are no competition for that little show stealer!
Your blocks are lovely! As is the quilt, the fabrics are gorgeous, and I do love those curved pieces :) Good luck with the little squares, hope they behave for you next time!
The quilt for Cindy is absolutely gorgeous ( as is your little observer).Did you use a particular pattern?
Oh so many beauties to choose from, and a pretty baby too?! Love the solids squares. Really loving the pattern on the one you've done for Cindy!
Fabulous blocks! Even the fussy one -- I know you'll charm it into behaving, Lucy!
Lois is gorgeous..........and your blocks look pretty good too, I also enjoyed the Pineapple blossom ones, reckon they would make up quickly into a quilt.
The blocks look great, but the quilt is stunning!!
How lovely to sew with that lovely wriggler watching - gorgeous blocks Lucy!
Great blocks, even the evil one!
Your blocks are gorgeous! And the quilt is going to look even more amazing hand quilted with those perle threads.
Lois is such a contented baby! No wonder you get so much done! Love the bee blocks and good luck with those solid squares!
You've got it going on over there!! So many fab blocks and quilt!! I hope those pesky colourful little squares start behaving as well as Lois is.
Fabulous blocks, wow! oooh, what's the problem with the block for kerry, i haven't finished Aprils yet (in the next day or so), any advice would be gratefully received! :o)
Oh I love my blocks-thank you! And love the quilt too
lovely bee blocks! These are so great, I've never been a fan of the basket look but the yellow and linen is gorgeous! And cute little one! Getting so big :)
I had to do that 1.5" square block for a bee too! I have since determined that 1.5" squares and I are NOT friends. I had to unpick and resew that darn block 3 times, and even then, it wasn't nearly as good as I'd have liked.
What fun things you are doing on your blog...that drunkards path is awesome!
Love all of it Lu - but especially my block! It is beautiful, and you used Lizzy in the middle! I love you!
Lovely blocks! The one that's giving you fits reminds me of Elmer and then I scrolled down and saw that Lois has a wee Elmer too :-)
Your quilt is stunning!!
EEE!!!! It's gorgeous, Lucy! The hand quilting is only going to make it even more amazing. I'm over the moon :)
So many beautiful things done! The quilt is gorgeous!
love those pineapple block thingys - they look great!
I love it ALL!! The pineapple blocks are my fav.
So much eye candy in this post, Lucy! Those pineapple blocks are beautiful. I can't wait to see the hand quilting on the quilt.
Wow I love your quilt for Cindy. It's amazing. I have just solids and was thinking of doing some curves but don't know if I will have time now...Beautiful....how can you part with it? On looker is quite charming too!
Gorgeous blocks, Lucy! The real show stopper is the quilt you're making for Cindy. OMG. I LOVE it. Give yourself a pat on the back for all the amazing things you're sewing and please, please give that sweet babe a kiss! She's too cute!
I agree with Nicky! Everything looks so pretty and then I see gorgeous little Lois inall her chubby cheeked glory. She's so cute I just wanna nibble her cheeks! You've been keeping busy. I hope you are feeling better seeing how much you ARE achieving.
Whoa! So much eye candy here! I'd love to make all of these cool blocks :-D I have no self control.
