On Periscope yesterday, I created my first video scope. I shared my Blue and White Pineapple Quilt. I made it and quilted it in 2005.
It measures 81" by 108". I have it hanging on the wall in my quilt studio and it greets me every morning.
Because it is so long, I had to baste stitch the right side under so that I could hang it on the quilt rack. That way it stays flat on that side.
I used almost every blue that I owned plus some of my quilting friends shared their blue fabrics with me.
I am sharing some up close photos of this quilt, but keep in mind that I quilted it a long time ago. My meandering looks a little wonky, but I was in my first couple years of quilting and there is a big learning curve to mastering longarm quilting.
I quilted my quilt with an overall medium Meandering with a Twist. The Twists are the little hearts.
My pineapple quilt was made using the Pineapple Quilt - A Piece of Cake pattern book by Loretta Smith from the Quilts in a Day Publications.
Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon in November I will be sharing a short periscope video and inviting you into my quilt studio to share a quilt or two that I have made. I will also share photos here of the quilts I share.
My name is craftysewing for periscope, instagram, and twitter and you can find replays of my videos on Katchme.
