Ready to be long-armed......
Here is a photo of my pineapple "chunk" top...using stash fabrics that are Christmas-themed. I made it using Gyleen Fitzgerald's Pineapple Ruler and the variation she calls "Pineapple Chunks". It was fun and easy (a lot easier than doing this kind of block with paper-piecing) and it did use up a lot of my Christmas stash. It will be getting long-armed soon. (Excuse the lighting that made parts of the quilt look lighter than they really are.) There are only two fabrics used for the block centers....and all the triangles are printed Christmas fabrics...even though some of them look solid in the picture. You can probably click on the picture to see it enlarged a bit. A friend of mine was lucky enough to get a long-arm machine recently, so I am going to see if she wants to quilt this for me. She has already been doing some excellent work!

It's a cute quilt Pat! I really like the design.
Wow, Pat, this is gorgeous! I love the green border with the Christmas fabrics. So...what design will your friend use to quilt this? (Don't say stippling...don't say stippling... haha did you read my post today?)
Pat this is simply lovely!
What a great quilt!! So the ruler is easier than paper piecing? Sounds interesting...
That's so pretty Pat! Congratulations on getting it finished! :0)
This is a beautiful quilt! I love the idea that it is a great stash buster too! Gorgeous!
Lovely quilt! I may just have to invest in that ruler.
Wow it really came out beautiful!! You go girl!!!
Absolutely beautiful, Pat!
So pretty, and all those lovely greens. Looks like it was a fun pattern to make.
Wow Pat, it's beautiful!
What a great looking quilt...it is beautiful. Isn't it fun to try new methods...and if they are quicker...and more fun too!!
Stunning! You worked those up very quickly. And it was a great stash buster! I must get one of those rulers.
Absolutely beautiful and the quilting will simply be the frosting!
First off, when I saw your header, I smiled. Autumn is my favorite season.
I love this quilt! I've got a pineapple ruler and I need to learn to use it. Loving it because I know you *adore* green and I love all the color going on.
Hope all is well with your and your family. Glad to see some more of your beautiful work!
That is really beautiful Pat, very nice job. I can't wait to see it after quilting.
Well done, Pat and with fabric from your stash, too!!!!
Really lovely machine quilting. The whole thing is fantastic.
very nice Pat. I saw it when it was in its infancy....can't wait to see it done
LOVE this Pat!
Hi Pat, Wow! This is gorgeous! You do such beautiful work. I love that you were able to use all your different scrap fabric and put it together in such a bright, colorful, and harmonious way! It is really a work of art. My mother-in-law just signed up for a quilting class and is getting pretty excited about it. Years ago I made two large quilts and a couple of wall hangings,using mostly cotton calico, but I never had any lessons and kind of figured it out as I went along. I am amazed when I see all the beautiful fabric they have available these days. I hope you have a lovely evening ahead, and again, what a beautiful job! Delisa :)
I might have to try this one Pat it looks fast!
Love-love-LOVE it!!
Very beautiful Pat, I love the fabrics.
Your quilt top is wonderful Pat!! How wonderful to use up a bunch of your Christmas stash too!! You'll be all set with a a quilt to keep you warm during the season now!! Good for you! 8-)
love this quilt, can't wait to see it long armed.....
Beautiful Just Beautiful, Hugs, Mary
