Here is a quilt top made by Sherry (from our neighborhood quilt group). She did this as a surprise gift for a recently-married co-worker of hers. I'd say that co-worker is pretty lucky, wouldn't you? Sherry is an excellent quilt-maker and a very generous gal! Sherry will sandwich this and get it quilted (on her home machine) lickety split, so I probably won't see it before she gives it away.......so I figured I better get a picture now. (I think it will enlarge if you click on it.)
This is my green pineapple mini-wall-hanging....all finished now. It is hand-quilted and came out really nice.......good texture to it. I know you can't see the hand-quilting well in the photo....especially in the "busier" parts of the quilt that are around the center pineapple block, so you'll have to trust me when I tell you the quilting turned out very nice. I'm really happy with it and you know I LOVE green fabrics!

Will add zip the wall where you hang it!

I need to go small hanger shopping I think.

Wow they both are so pretty!!
Gorgeous quilt! I really like your wall hanging too. I've not tried to hand quilt or hand piece anything but I do like the look.
Oooo they are both so very pretty!! Well done ladies :0)

Wow..I love the scrappy hearts on Sherry's quilt. I am wondering if she used a jelly roll for those. I can see it would be a terrific way to use one.
Your pineapple hanging is pretty. The quilting in the background really disappeared. i can see it in the block when I enlarge the photo. Nice job.
Your little wall hanging is so pretty. Each time I see the pineapple block, I'm more and more tempted to go get the ruler. Love your friend's quilt.
Those quilts are stunning. I love the heart quilt. Did she make the heart blocks separately and them put them together? It looks like way too much work for me.
Love your friend`s quilt,it`s great.
Wow all those squares! Love how the light comes through the back of that photo. Thanks for sharing!!
Sherry is indeed very generous -- look at all that sewing! Very pretty. Also, the pineapple block is very pretty. Very nice, fine little quilting stitches too!
I love them both!!
Great job! What a lucky couple to get such a great gift.
Sherry's quilt top is pretty... lucky bride and groom. And your wallhanging looks great... the narrow light border really sets it off... nice job on the hand quilting.
Nice! That heart quilt kind of looks like stained glass - maybe it's just the light shining through from the back. It's lovely.
Love your green pineapple, too!
OMG! That heart quilt is awesome...someone is very lucky. Pat your "green" wall-hanging is wonderful.....I just love green.
What a lucky couple to be receiving that gorgeous quilt!
Your green pineapple is lovely!
What a wonderful quilt...and your wall hanging turned out sooo wonderfully!!
Your picture taking did a great job of showing Sherry's quilt. Its sure a lot of work for a gift, very generous. I hope m ost people enlarge the green wall hanging so they can see the great hand stitching you do!
Lovely heart quilt top for the newlyweds.
Your green pineapple is really pretty. Now I really will have to tackle one someday.
Sherry is definitely a generous friend! What a lady!!! I love the patchwork hearts! Gene is right as this would be a great use for jelly roll strips. Your little green wallhanging is very nice. I clicked so I could see the quilting. Would you say that green is your favorite color? Just wondering....... :-)
What a lovely quilt top Sherry made! What a lucky couple receiving it! 8-)
Your mini is adorable Pat! Excellent!
Happy stitchings!
That heart quilt is so pretty!
I didn't know I liked green pineapple until I saw your mini Pat - nice job!

LOVE the heart quilt! I swore I would never make another quilt with lots of little squares with that one might just convince me to reneig on my oath! Lovely.
I love both quilts! I can see how much work went into your quilt..It reminds me of Ireland.

The heart quilt has the look of a mosaic and your quilt has a way of drawing the eye into the center. Two unique and beautiful quilts you both can be proud of.
I love your friend's quilt of hearts. Tempted to put that on my to do list.
Both projects very pretty! I love your friend's scrappy hearts and green is my favourite color so I love your quilt!
Happy sewing!
That heart quilt is wow beautiful, you did a great job.
