It's finished! Quilted and bound and ready for those cool summer nights! I started this pineapple quilt after seeing several versions on Pinterest. I stole the pattern just by eye-balling it, which is perfectly legal, yes? I couldn't love this quilt more because it reminds me of happier times and places, which I why I wanted a pineapple quilt to begin with.
This is one of my "Covid quilts" because it was finished during the quarantine so I can look back on being locked-down and know that I at least accomplished something besides watching everything on Netflix! Instead of the Oscars this year I think there should be an awards show for the people who watched the most TV. I would definitely win something, maybe a badge or a ball-cap, I'd even settle for a scrunchy, just something I could wear with pride knowing I chose TV over jumping off the bridge!
The backing is from IKEA, it's a bit loud and proud but it's what I had in my stash. But here's what really important to know about the backing, it's STRAIGHT! That rarely happens around here so the front of this quilt might not be seen because I'm just so happy the back turned out even!
I like to sit on this bench and do crossword puzzles while I'm waiting on the mister to swoop in from Global Headquarters. He's not as excited about driving to work as he has been because now there are more and more cars on the road. A few weeks ago it was just him and the Amazon guy. Crossword puzzles on the deck in the afternoon is something I look forward to if it's not raining, it's my new happy place, until the mister arrives and announces he's going to retire - what's a 5 letter word for where I will go if he does? CRAZY!
