Blockheads Block 8

It’s week #8 of Blockheads.  This week’s block is an appliqued Pineapple block designed by Jan Patek.

 I loved the applique blocks from round 1, they were some of my favorites in my sampler quilt…that little bee hive, pumpkin, flags, and the baskets are so cute.  I also really like the little appliqued house block from the last round.

But, for this round, I decided to do an all pieced quilt…at least that is what I am planning right now.  Who knows by the time the end is in sight if I will have followed through!  As quilters, it’s our prerogative to change our quilty minds! =)

For that reason, I made a pieced version of Jan’s pineapple block.  I’ve used fabrics from Pepper & Flax for my block.   How cute would a whole quilt of these little pineapples be?!?

You can find Jan’s applique version available for download on her blog.  If you’d like the pattern for my pieced version or the coloring page for the pieced version, I am including a downloadable PDF below.  The PDF includes both the coloring page and the pieced block instructions.

And here are all of my blocks together.

I love the way this quilt is shaping up.  The different sizes of blocks are going to make this quilt spectacular.  It is going to be the perfect compliment to the Round 1 quilt.
