I love 'me' some pineapple! :P I made a pineapple upside down cake (from scratch) last week, was in need of some serious comfort food. The recipe is on my blog http://geckoquilts.blogspot.com/ along with pics of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusmaulk Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I love a mystery!! I think I will be the trouble child and try using several similar fabrics instead of just three. Would like to use some of what I already have for this one. Do we need to have all the cutting finished by the 25th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 karol...of course not. i am only going to post the first clue on the 25th! so you only need the fabrics for clue #1 by then. if you choose to go scrappy...i would still pull only one focus fabric (roughly 2 yds) and then use various shades of one color for the contrast and various shades of another color for the background. I included fabric for the first border which everyone will want to do...and was thinking just the focus for the last outer border to tie it all together and complete the quilt! i would be very interested in a scrappy version of this. I may actually make another to appease myself. scrappy quilts are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Joann, I am going to make this. When I was in grade school my mom would have pineapple upside down cake hot and ready when I got home from school at least once a week. Soooo good. Thanks.

KarenH Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I love mystery quilts, I'm in! I can't wait to pick out my fabric. Looking forward to next saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusmaulk Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Kristina, Yes, that is what I am thinking. I just pulled my fabrics!! I am using two very similar floral prints for my focus - one is more blue, one is more green, but both have yellow and hot pink flowers (med. to large) My contrast will be various yellows, and my background will be just one hot pink solid. Very Springy, I think. Thanks for doing this. I know it will be fun. And I'm getting involved because Shannon said all the cool kids are doing it. Tomorrow, I'll be cutting and bagging!

GrandmaLKB Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Love the "springy" colors. It will be so fun to see all the finished quilts and the variety of fabrics chosen. I am going to check my stash today and see if I have enough. Otherwise, a trip to my local quilt shop is in the future! That Pineapple Upside Down cake looks sooooooo good. Might have to make that for the holidays coming up so I have some help to eat it. I could eat the whole thing myself, but that wouldn't be good.

TerriVB Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Kristina--thanks for doing this--I am always up for a challenge--my Carolina Christmas is going on the frame next week---so now I can do another mystery for me. I am so glad that someone else is going to do scrappy because that is my plan too--I am in a major stashbusting phase this year and want more going out than coming in!!!The morning is quite dark here today--but will post a picture soon. Thanks--guess my afternoon is planned for me tomorrow after Sunday dinner at FIL and DH is napping!!! terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 OK! I looked in my stash and found these fabrics I had purchased for another project and then decided I didn't like the pattern after all. No one else EVER does that, right??? The print on the right will be my focus fabric, black for background and the 2 small prints for contrast. I even had some border print to match to use for the border !

witha'K'quilting Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 linda...i would suggest to use one contrast for the clue #1 and the other for the remainder of the clues...assuming you have enough fabric to do it that way. if not...email me..and I can help you figure out what else to cut with first contrast fabric. love that border too! :cool: karol...love your choices too. i would for certain try to cut clue #4 focus with the larger of the two focus fabrics. this will look great! kath...those fabrics are lovely. I am really hoping to cut out a different scrappy version myself and sew right along with everyone. I am thinking about something really wild...as if orange/purple and turquoise weren't wild enough!!

I haven't had any problems with my blog that I am aware of. Kristina, I have the same problem - I only get a blank screen - with both of your links from you website. Using the other links you posted here yesterday, I couldn't print the pdfs. All I got were the lines around your text. I am using a Mac - I wonder if this is making a difference. I know it shouldn't, but I am stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House Creations Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 This looks like great fun! I'm heading down to my stash right now to select my fabrics . . . then again, I'm going to my favorite fabric store in Cranbrook, BC next weekend, so maybe I'll have to buy some more - I've never done a mystery quilt before - I'm in!

uncquilter Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Kristina, I am getting the same blank page(as Sandra and Bev) if i try to open the instructions from the blog. It opens just fine from the link you posted on the APQS forum. I really want to join the fun! Thanks, Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House Creations Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Sorry, I don't know how to post pictures here - but this is the address to my selection. I guess I don't NEED to go the the quilt shop after all! I think this would make a nice spring/summer quilt - Kristina - do you think it'll work OK? http://www.flickr.com/photos/54052865@N04/5001989342/ Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
