Pineapple Quilted Table Runner

I made a Pineapple Table Runner using scraps of white fabrics and scraps of batik fabrics. The inner and outer border and binding is also batik fabric. I quilted it in a wavy variegated thread.

The blocks were made using the Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Ruler, which made this much easier to make. I posted about this when I had only made the blocks and shared the video from Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilting Co. After watching her video I had to get this ruler and I am glad that I did. I don't like to buy specific rulers unless I know I will make more than one quilt, runner, etc. using the ruler. Mainly because those rulers are all so dang expensive! Creative Grids price fix their rulers, so they don't go on sale unless they allow them to go on sale, which I have not seen more than a 50 cents difference in price on any of their rulers before. So if you are waiting for a sale, don't hold your breath! (I am not an affiliate of theirs.)

When it comes to rulers, if you want to know how to use them properly and get tips, etc. you must search online to find a good video to learn how to use various rulers and not just from this company. Going to local quilt shops, you will find lots of rulers, but unless someone in the shop demonstrates a ruler, I would have no idea how to use it and may or may not want to buy it without knowing this before purchasing the ruler. So quilt shops please listen up and offer ruler demos or you won't sell many rulers! And don't charge for a class in order to learn how to use a ruler that you are selling either. We can all go online and find free videos to see how to use the various rulers out there and then decide whether we want to buy the ruler or not. I am all in favor of supporting local shops, but if they don't make it easier for me to buy rulers from them, then I will go and seek out the help I do need in order to make an informed decision. Yes I can be very opinionated, lol!!!

Pineapple Quilt Blocks

I started making some pineapple blocks using the Pineapple Trim Ruler by Creative Grids. After watching Jenny Doan (of Missouri Star Quilting Co.) demonstrate this ruler in one of her video tutorials, I was sold on this ruler and had to have it. So I grabbed white scraps and batik scraps and played making scrappy blocks. In the photo below I just placed the blocks down to get an idea of what it would look like. I later sewed these together and I just need to add a border and quilt it.

I will be making more blocks as time permits. The pineapple block has always been a favorite of mine.
