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

A pineapple style quilt with alternating diagonals of browns and blues in shirting patterns, mostly stripes and plaids. The middle sections are various white and cream shirtings again with stripes and crosshatching. The center squares and corners for each block are bright red with white cross-hatching. The pineapple effect made up of jagged lines hwich can be seen as forming pineapples but also interlocking circles.
an angled view of the pineapple from closer to the floor. This view highlights the individual fabrics. Some are very densly patterned and some are very light. Each block is broadly symmetrical though cuts may impact the effect.
The quilt is lying on a red coach in a way that really makes a wheel and spoke aspect of it pop out. There's just a corner peaking out of the underside to show that the backing is a pink check.
The quilt is lying, folded, on top of a well-worn pineapple quilt. Its corner is turned back to reveal the pink check on the back. The worn pineapple quilt looks almost like a shadow of the new one.
