Today is the day I finally get to post my final project using the <i>Acreage Collection</i>. YAY! So, you've probably seen some of my progress posts on my <i>Acreage Quilt</i>, but if you haven't, you can see them <a href="http://sweetsassystrong.blogspot.com/2016/06/sewing-makes-me-happy.html" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://sweetsassystrong.blogspot.com/2016/07/acreage-quilt-binding.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
When <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I first saw the <a href="http://storefront.unitednotions.com/storefrontCommerce/subcategorybrowse.do?subcategory-name=Shannon+Orr&path=Guest%2f%2f%2f%2fDesigners&currentPage=1&numResults=100" target="_blank"><i>Acreage Collection</i> </a>while browsing the Moda Fabrics website, I instantly became obsessed. I loved this collection, the colors are so vibrant and the bike prints are so stinking cute. </span>Shannon Orr, the talented designer slash maker, asked her Instagram followers to participate in a blog tour I thought my chances were a long shot. One, my blog is not followed by an insane amount of people and two, I consider myself an amateur quilter. So when she included in the tour, I was so excited I could hardly contain myself! <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Shannon sent each participate a large box of "scraps", but we aren't talking measly scraps we are talking decent size cuts of fabrics! </span></div>
<div>
After folding, organizing, re-folding and dreaming long and hard about what I should make, I was finally inspired by a pattern (<i><a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/shimmer-quilt-pattern" target="_blank">Shimmer </a></i>by Cluck Cluck Sew) sent in my monthly Sew Sampler Subscription Box. (Yes, a Bark Box for quilting enthusiasts) I started prepping my fabric pieces right away and let me tell you, I spent any spare moment I had measuring, cutting and organizing pieces for my blocks. Late nights after my baby fell asleep and lunch breaks in my office behind a closed door were prime prepping time! </div>

I will be the first to tell you, that I struggled making some of the blocks and they definitely are not perfect. Some, <i>okay most</i>, of my corners were slightly off and I would never take a picture of the back of any of the blocks, but I loved how each one turned out! This fabric is so cohesive and the colors are vibrant! So even though I wasn't perfect, this fabric collection makes it easy to make a good looking quilt. </div>

Between my busy work schedule in August and planning my son's golden birthday party, I chose to send it off to be quilted by my favorite local quilt shop in Pierre, The Quilt Locker. They did a great job quilting it and I was pleased with the results! I added my scrappy 2" binding and quickly whip stitched it and have been cuddling with it sense. </div>

The <i>Acreage </i>yellows are PERFECT for a traditional version of this trendy block. But you can use pretty much any of the fabrics to get creative, cause who doesn't want a pink or orange pineapple too?! I used 2" squares to make these 6.5"x11" pineapple blocks. </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Probably 16-20 of these little guys could make a fun quilt for my couch. </span></div>

Don't forget to continue to follow the Blog Tour and show some Moda Love to the below maker's too to see what they have been up to! I am anxiously awaiting the chance to purchase more of this fabric for my stash not only because it is beautiful but because it will always have a good memory behind it! Then anytime I use a piece of the <i>Acreage Collection, </i>I can reminisce on this wonderful experience on the tour making my <i>Acreage Quilt</i>.<br />

It is true what they say, "It goes so fast." It seems like only yesterday we were waking up in the middle of the night to nurse, practicing tummy time, rocking back in forth in anticipation to crawl and practicing our balance together before the first big steps.<br>
It makes me sad to think Wade is one already but happy at the same time. We kept him alive for a whole year! What an accomplishment as a parent. There were some days where Kyle and I just looked at each other in disbelief that all of this was happening, praying someone would take care of us again especially when Wade was sick and we caught the same bug. But through it all, we survived. And now we have a wonderfully spunky little boy that has 8 teeth, walks around, explores, learns, says dadda and mama and smiles continuously.<br>
I love him more than anything and already gave my husband permission to save Wade's life over mine any day of the week. I have dreams for this little boy to be a great man of God, sharing his word and inviting friends to know Jesus. I dream of Wade playing to trombone or being on the swim team with long arms and strong shoulders. We want him to go to School of Mines to be an Engineer, probably electrical knowing his fascination with cords. BUT whatever he decides to do will be great and I will be there to cheer him on no matter what. <div>Happy Golden Birthday Wade! </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6B7DXOcOXBtm1plzrt5N0DhNbTXCaQZMuNgLOPacw0ylv9Okpu2XZKMIAMWQFzP7dZNU4i-_i7A3M82StLXrn31DURczECmzOL7dsbRT1z6RS_t2qTBf21Jxzqp7ye_regSYt1YaOAPXy/s640/blogger-image-782951103.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6B7DXOcOXBtm1plzrt5N0DhNbTXCaQZMuNgLOPacw0ylv9Okpu2XZKMIAMWQFzP7dZNU4i-_i7A3M82StLXrn31DURczECmzOL7dsbRT1z6RS_t2qTBf21Jxzqp7ye_regSYt1YaOAPXy/s640/blogger-image-782951103.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09419080842180241240noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341962349868278077.post-81457493074368828442016-08-23T04:03:00.001-07:002016-08-23T04:03:55.177-07:00Mom TimeMoms are the best.

My favorite sports to watch are of course women's gymnastics, swimming (all sorts), sand volleyball and tennis. It's been a real treat to watch these athletes compete almost every night on NBC prime time. But what I'm really loving is following the olympics in social media like Instagram (@nbcolympics) and snap chat! Their stories and memes are absolutely the best!

It was glorious! I usually have to use vacation days from work to have a long weekend for our trips to visit family or friends but yesterday I decided to treat myself and use one of my vacation days for me. <div>I was really blessed to have my mom, dad and little sister in town to take care of Wade while I took care of myself. That was so sweet and wonderful of them.</div><div>First off, I slept in until 7:30am. Yes. That was refreshing. Kyle got me my favorite Panera bagel for breakfast and then we rushed off to our tee time to enjoy a round of golf together. I love golfing and haven't gotten to play for over a year and a half! Even though it wasn't my best round it was nice to get out and walk and drive the golf ball again. For the rest of the afternoon I spent in my sewing room cutting my Acreage Fabric by EB Makery for my upcoming blog tour post. Cannot wait to post a sneak preview soon! Finally, to cap off my stay-cation, Kyle and I traveled to Sioux City to watch Dierks Bentley and Randy Houser in concert. We had VIP tickets and got to go in early for an acoustic concert by Dierks before hand. He was literally <10ft away! Even though I wish I would have brought hearing protection for the actual concert since we were right by the speakers I had a blast with Kyle and it was our fist date night where we were out late enough where we didn't put Wade to sleep. We missed the little guy but had so much fun together</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRz0wQL-L1BRJP9nq4Z4-qXJ_KkJi9NusX992x7l6WGzMzyFgvwUAQtHSZGA015tbJ5eaGxW6_P-3RLIySNK_1xJzPJasXxPu25DwRRp3iFcjU4frm1q5Dmksz3eR9QALOzTCJM6eP1QJU/s640/blogger-image--724709707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRz0wQL-L1BRJP9nq4Z4-qXJ_KkJi9NusX992x7l6WGzMzyFgvwUAQtHSZGA015tbJ5eaGxW6_P-3RLIySNK_1xJzPJasXxPu25DwRRp3iFcjU4frm1q5Dmksz3eR9QALOzTCJM6eP1QJU/s640/blogger-image--724709707.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxUNDsJDNutUf1X2EoqjtPP5fs2RD7gPLuz6UbWMGq_XYUfyIGajekX280je-ymhLzlyAcGB5gwbuyxbalqNipG0dbJE8wr0Sf3K14tkkOwjYJyUz0Gqzpeoq-y-f9iVjA546xO8EK-hxL/s640/blogger-image-342728467.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxUNDsJDNutUf1X2EoqjtPP5fs2RD7gPLuz6UbWMGq_XYUfyIGajekX280je-ymhLzlyAcGB5gwbuyxbalqNipG0dbJE8wr0Sf3K14tkkOwjYJyUz0Gqzpeoq-y-f9iVjA546xO8EK-hxL/s640/blogger-image-342728467.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17830981744519341497noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341962349868278077.post-1390049121700501192016-06-05T12:36:00.001-07:002016-06-14T15:55:26.612-07:00Fat Quarter Shop's Simple Zipper Bag<a href="https://youtu.be/zH_BRLsV_4o">https://youtu.be/zH_BRLsV_4o</a><div><br></div><div>This Simple Zipper Bag from Fat Quarter Shop featuring Sherri McConnell from www.aquiltinglife.com is the perfect quick weekend project. It probably would only take an hour to complete start to finish if you don't have a 9 month old on your hip or sitting on your lap while trying to sew! Wade was a good sport and let me get this large zipper bag finished using a Mini Charm Pack from Moda Gooseberry, mini pearl bracelets in red and a fat quarter I had for the lining. This quick project gave me a chance to work on ironing my patchwork correctly and my machine quilting techniques. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoSFgrqhR69mQhkMGU16fRCsn8mZ3ORAJ46d9OxgfJKQn3PnZAJ_3YrjSg61wiGpLY3zc94Gwoafa_o-eB-FMF3LeMvVL1m-hiAUISoeLQfAOREnp_s_GhBymg59AjGdA5QWdaQ34mkYCO/s640/blogger-image-852739199.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoSFgrqhR69mQhkMGU16fRCsn8mZ3ORAJ46d9OxgfJKQn3PnZAJ_3YrjSg61wiGpLY3zc94Gwoafa_o-eB-FMF3LeMvVL1m-hiAUISoeLQfAOREnp_s_GhBymg59AjGdA5QWdaQ34mkYCO/s640/blogger-image-852739199.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE6oR8ncPtLjTObW8n7CQ7_jr4ajKRnCMOyLK5KVMdk7usGGvOm0767CD6S0l_5B8RF6Ggx6epswtlBiurKFdTme2m6h5Ag5Xn-LwmyBYtYkrz55tLGw172uV6jlj8Ok8ZEBvy4TxXmUVH/s640/blogger-image--407341590.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE6oR8ncPtLjTObW8n7CQ7_jr4ajKRnCMOyLK5KVMdk7usGGvOm0767CD6S0l_5B8RF6Ggx6epswtlBiurKFdTme2m6h5Ag5Xn-LwmyBYtYkrz55tLGw172uV6jlj8Ok8ZEBvy4TxXmUVH/s640/blogger-image--407341590.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigvDZ9poNMN4qPTVVM3l1PuZNNKxbRZ6UuQuM3FMkmwU_uJiwYZj1XimjjXuo_4nL09T75gpjuEyEAlKTynEQTLRXHJC1LmUeihfhtmwEHMtqDH2LtfDLsHmvND-6tt27b-7OKNS9nq4eU/s640/blogger-image-553874552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigvDZ9poNMN4qPTVVM3l1PuZNNKxbRZ6UuQuM3FMkmwU_uJiwYZj1XimjjXuo_4nL09T75gpjuEyEAlKTynEQTLRXHJC1LmUeihfhtmwEHMtqDH2LtfDLsHmvND-6tt27b-7OKNS9nq4eU/s640/blogger-image-553874552.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJfPnO2sVzQxya0rkl2q-Tk_w3am4XLazx89Uq8jl5R9FjoFcB3Yap7WRa6lhGi9Bm1ZSY0Z0TiGA9em9anhJWprXzeZfnisx5UHX2mduruRqJrSv3Uu35leDiRX642dkGGohXyxwwbBVJ/s640/blogger-image--1608959119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJfPnO2sVzQxya0rkl2q-Tk_w3am4XLazx89Uq8jl5R9FjoFcB3Yap7WRa6lhGi9Bm1ZSY0Z0TiGA9em9anhJWprXzeZfnisx5UHX2mduruRqJrSv3Uu35leDiRX642dkGGohXyxwwbBVJ/s640/blogger-image--1608959119.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN0ecedEN_QRZKX2EyVFHFUBi_kiMwcSYZSI-5PVOJw2RkuqEW_TaXYeL5qj1XGxXnryjtuAJ1TitwX2PAxbbuxWv7Lsmt4oxeDiFEp19jakXGF6E6iW506Wyrm5SKjd-iMHdrhO7rnxQk/s640/blogger-image-2135715158.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN0ecedEN_QRZKX2EyVFHFUBi_kiMwcSYZSI-5PVOJw2RkuqEW_TaXYeL5qj1XGxXnryjtuAJ1TitwX2PAxbbuxWv7Lsmt4oxeDiFEp19jakXGF6E6iW506Wyrm5SKjd-iMHdrhO7rnxQk/s640/blogger-image-2135715158.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17830981744519341497noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341962349868278077.post-81212866215672434102016-06-05T10:29:00.001-07:002016-06-05T10:29:30.150-07:00Pineapple Mini Quilt-Finished!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZizMoGjemXrEmjk8gJ-G06-kZh8cXCcP_81MD6sui04Hm3HMDxjYwsDMakbTslXgy8D6lgFrlzo-eHBgGklY0U9jrHw7L5LGow8U4ONraRqnutgdtRkZNGZiaVNVhQZNRtmML_1sEMRWw/s640/blogger-image-2130212614.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZizMoGjemXrEmjk8gJ-G06-kZh8cXCcP_81MD6sui04Hm3HMDxjYwsDMakbTslXgy8D6lgFrlzo-eHBgGklY0U9jrHw7L5LGow8U4ONraRqnutgdtRkZNGZiaVNVhQZNRtmML_1sEMRWw/s640/blogger-image-2130212614.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Got my mini pineapple quilt done! The finished block measures 16.5"x10.75". I used a jelly roll strip plus a cut from a fat quarter to bind the quilt with this purple contrast fabric. I am still working at perfecting my binding technique but I think I get better every time. I learned a lot from this quilt in terms of seam allowances when making half square triangles. Next time, I'll either use a one to one mini charm ratio when making yellow or green corners and have a little waste or cut the corners to be 3" so the finished square is 2.5". Since I didn't do that this block, I had to square up my rowa more often than I would have liked and therefore it is a bit smaller finished. But that's what I like about quilting- always learning something to take to the next project! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> This pineapple pattern is so delicious I want to use it to create a lap size quilt or larger to cuddle with this winter. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I tried to get Wade to model my finished mini quilt that is just his size but he wasn't super cooperative-so many other things to explore! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOTaZh2mWGfu8FZ-Aio8NLZPNIzoaEFa3OpmkdnDl3WcjAW5Y4OhHX2_sri5Z_IUinJ6UjsdQaqmWLQY49pCaD6mZRa5iJze3Fvst0iU0tlulUBs0b-KlmHyVryTtUCH12N3Mpiqw06eYD/s640/blogger-image--1940716368.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOTaZh2mWGfu8FZ-Aio8NLZPNIzoaEFa3OpmkdnDl3WcjAW5Y4OhHX2_sri5Z_IUinJ6UjsdQaqmWLQY49pCaD6mZRa5iJze3Fvst0iU0tlulUBs0b-KlmHyVryTtUCH12N3Mpiqw06eYD/s640/blogger-image--1940716368.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pEJZjMsOLimxoCMfrufwltth0UOsXZbUlhsxgzQvkwU_xlclSkXLRa43H_bVv7Jpm2Dsy_VpxrNFqm7v5b5uYVBvdChWkeNzK_K-kwoErEEqmNwSNISEvmFk78Rk_yFsVwv2W5cBiAJe/s640/blogger-image--1451285953.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pEJZjMsOLimxoCMfrufwltth0UOsXZbUlhsxgzQvkwU_xlclSkXLRa43H_bVv7Jpm2Dsy_VpxrNFqm7v5b5uYVBvdChWkeNzK_K-kwoErEEqmNwSNISEvmFk78Rk_yFsVwv2W5cBiAJe/s640/blogger-image--1451285953.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17830981744519341497noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341962349868278077.post-52685845550310518792016-05-29T16:20:00.001-07:002016-05-29T16:30:18.732-07:00Pineapple Mini Quilt-QuiltedI stayed up late a few nights to get the mini quilt sewn, sandwiched and quilted. It was one of the most fun projects I've done in a long time. I was so excited to use my new bernina feet-quarter inch and free motion. Since we were heading to Kyle's family's house for Memorial Day, I wanted to have a car project and binding seemed like it would be a good go to. I worked tirelessly till 11pm to get it to a point I was pleased with. It's so cute!! I'm very motivated to make a bigger version!! <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhplrJJzAek9wmOi_nX8xGRhZkXNBX9ghc-zJ-cwXscNI-xc55v4lFaBzSU4HV9sWf3K4KXivrMt6wTaxkvezQxexrtguX410S8UECL70j4UXw5xIBjRsap_8Rde5ZaNI0Dd6y6N3uG3vim/s640/blogger-image--1626214430.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhplrJJzAek9wmOi_nX8xGRhZkXNBX9ghc-zJ-cwXscNI-xc55v4lFaBzSU4HV9sWf3K4KXivrMt6wTaxkvezQxexrtguX410S8UECL70j4UXw5xIBjRsap_8Rde5ZaNI0Dd6y6N3uG3vim/s640/blogger-image--1626214430.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje2pqrUxmeIkxEALCJBB5mRZUIAcpqpCdwhHAo8Kl-LOZfeDpiteNRgdmhsud7GuNgT3yinNjD24qov2z4D-XAeBdy18ZIHxUUt32mlG431fLr11IXwvax-F-wWp8zu3DVPBI47sMxfVa0/s640/blogger-image--615717631.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje2pqrUxmeIkxEALCJBB5mRZUIAcpqpCdwhHAo8Kl-LOZfeDpiteNRgdmhsud7GuNgT3yinNjD24qov2z4D-XAeBdy18ZIHxUUt32mlG431fLr11IXwvax-F-wWp8zu3DVPBI47sMxfVa0/s640/blogger-image--615717631.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFCxZMviy_WNE-rOUQGv9GBhjJJAECFXM2wkdxxtbd-7n5B6xwsNVK4I05dVOlOh1GDNNDWeKa50BPs-OnTCph-O1tgZvEvm3M_9OvPJe63zr07wU6AYMuRUhBfAnF2prEGYzHqSYrxjea/s640/blogger-image-1636039791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFCxZMviy_WNE-rOUQGv9GBhjJJAECFXM2wkdxxtbd-7n5B6xwsNVK4I05dVOlOh1GDNNDWeKa50BPs-OnTCph-O1tgZvEvm3M_9OvPJe63zr07wU6AYMuRUhBfAnF2prEGYzHqSYrxjea/s640/blogger-image-1636039791.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-_p4WQofxnEk1yS8CqhJKEeBH9EVKxbHHdS02ENLYKP8e0GfblAuOBP4S5kolZumm5fpEcayAkOw0HqgydZPxmqXzCXMHcLgmrnVoLI8xEYtqO173M0vUs6mo-Kwi2pWOaYHdibPdi22/s640/blogger-image-175489303.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil-_p4WQofxnEk1yS8CqhJKEeBH9EVKxbHHdS02ENLYKP8e0GfblAuOBP4S5kolZumm5fpEcayAkOw0HqgydZPxmqXzCXMHcLgmrnVoLI8xEYtqO173M0vUs6mo-Kwi2pWOaYHdibPdi22/s640/blogger-image-175489303.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Can't wait to show you the finished project!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">πππππ</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17830981744519341497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341962349868278077.post-5427074754738460922016-05-23T20:26:00.001-07:002016-05-23T20:26:54.029-07:00Pineapple Mini Quilt-PreppingI've cleaned out my Instagram and no longer follow empty celebrity life gossip and filled it full of fabric, color and quilts!

It will be just one pineapple block with a cute backing and binding.
