..My try at paper peicing

luv2quilt, it pretty! you need to finish it.

How do you like paperpiecing? I'm a recent convert!

Your quilt is very nice. FYI I have a friend who does quilting with her long arm. I saw a pineapple quilt she was quilting. Later she told me the woman had wo pineapple quilts; one for each daughter. The lady had them both appraised as she wanted her daughters to know what they are getting. One quilt was appraised at $1,100 and the other $1,400!!

Thought you'd like to know.

Since Pineapple quilts are so labor intensive, I'm sure that really adds to their value. Paper piecing is the only way I would attempt one.

Thanks girls..and Yes, i do need to finish it..I have done 2 other paper pieced tops a log cabin and a star...when I get my kitchen put back together I will post them...there in totes and kitchen stuff is on top LOL..I like paper piecing because its accurate...Just flip cut sew on the line...But, I like El's projects..I am doing her star and 4 patch now.....In the still stripping book.....

luv_2 - that is gorgeous. It looks very labor intensive - whew. But it is so pretty.

Very pretty. If I decide to do a pineapple(never done one)I will definately use your method...

Love the quilt, I have not tried paperpiecing, of course that is one of a million things I haven't tried, but I do have a list and this is now on it.

I've never done paper piecing. Looks hard, but you have mastered it.
Very nice.

That looks great. I am still afraid to try paper piecing. I need to take a class. Nice work.
