I finished quilting my scrap baskets. I’ll post a picture when I get the binding on. I was a little behind on the Friday Block Party blocks so I pulled out my bright scraps and went to work. Here is my Union Square. I think I should have made the outside star points a brighter or darker so they stand out better. Oh well live and learn. I still like this scrappy block.
This weeks block was very simple. Just a variation on a pinwheel. I changed how I pieced it because I didn’t have enough of the pink dot to do it the way the instructions read. The price you pay when you commit to going scrappy. Small price I feel. I just love scrappy quilts.
I recently bought a pineapple ruler. Here is my first attempt at a block. I have always wanted to make a pineapple quilt. One block down, many more to go.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend full of scraps of joy.

I did better at paper piecing pineapple blocks than I did with the pineapple ruler. Don’t know why.
I love your pineapple block! I have always wanted to make a pineapple quilt too. I love the look of them and it would be a good use of all my scraps.
Lots of great scrappy inspiration in this post! I’m waaayyy behind on Friday Block Party. The garden takes priority over the sewing room right now. But I need a quilt fix and your scrappy blocks have got me thinking.
Love your Block Party blocks! But the pineapple block is wonderful. Great way to use up scraps!
I like the emphasis on the square in Union Square – love the cherries, too! Also, love the pineapple block!

You did a great job! Scrappy is good and always seems to be more interesting. Can’t wait to see more blocks, keep them coming.
Great blocks Em.
These are great scrappy blocks! And love the pineapple block. Does the special ruler really make it easier?
Wonderful blocks! Thanks for the inspiration!
YOU are having fun! Dig that. Love the pineapple block, too. Excellent work my friend. Excellent.
Your blocks are all so pretty, but I LOVE the pineapple block! Was it hard to make?
Looking good. I like how scrappy quilts force you to be more creative. 🙂 There’s definately not the same challenge with a quilt once you have just bought everything for.
Love your blocks. Happy sewing.
I love Pineapple blocks but have never heard of a pineapple ruler – I usually foundation piece mine. Love all the blocks you have done this week.
very pretty blocks…love the fabrics in that first one.
Love your scrappy blocks! All of them look great!
