Blue Pineapples Beauty Queen Parade-Show and Tell



Hi  everyone! Possibly, probably, you've had enough of Blue Pineapples already! This is her photo shoot post; I like to put all the quilt pics online where they have an extra chance to survive computer outages. A record for the future.



Many of you have already kindly commented on this project. I didn't get to answer everyone, yet, because of the not-a-hurricane Henri nonsense. (My poor fridge is bulging still. I am dying for a dinner of peanut butter with tomato, mayo and lettuce sandwiches, a hurricane staple.) 

                                        

Here is a pretty hurricane candle I made for the storm. "Sea Salt"/ 3 wicks, lots of light.


Blue Pineapples is a simple modern quilt, meant to be a beach blanket or a deck and living room sofas throw. I think right now it is so crisp and white that it will live indoors for a year or two.

Each  pineapple is a different indigo batik.
















The white ground is a pigment white hibiscus tropical  design.


The wonderful wild backing! Psychedelic jungle print.

Just for fun, in my friends' lovely yard.





Tossed over a chair, as a throw....

Have a good week. Stay cool!
