dtreusch Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I need some help for what to do on the outside edge of these blocks on a pineapple quilt. The outside edge is just a really awkward shape and I'm kind of at a loss for what to do. Anyone have some ideas? Hopefully you can see in the picture what I've done inside the blocks. Thanks!!

Quilting Heidi Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I'm not sure if I can get this to post but how about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks Heidi. Unfortunately, in the picture you aren't seeing the applique that is in the border. Great suggestion and it gives me an idea that might work. MB - How about if I send you the quilt and let you finish it. Then you can enjoy it for awhile and I dont' have to stress over this. I just have to get it back before the October show here in Des Moines. Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Debbi, Yes applique in the way would change it for sure! Maybe you can just do the diamonds and squares in between the applique, depending on what it is of course. I can't wait to see the whole thing done and see what you come up with...I'm sure it will be spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 you said you needed "Help and Inspiration" - so....I'm inspired!! But no thanks, you finish it then send it to me...I'll pay shipping fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Is there anything wrong with not quilting anything in that narrow space and just let it be? You have a red narrow border right there; perhaps you could quilt something in there or SID the narrow border. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Thanks all for the suggestions. It's such an odd space to fill. Anyway, I ended up just doing a modified version of the loopies that are in the pineapples and it looks just fine. Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
