Pineapple Blossom Block Lotto Quilt Complete

It's finally complete!  Today's the day I completed the Pineapple Blossom quilt.  The pattern is by Bonnie Hunter (it's on the Quiltville website).  Most of the blocks were won in the May 2011 Block Lotto.  I'm just so happy that it is now done.  Here it is (with a picture of my shadow...)

I went with a scrappy border.  See that little heart at the top right?  I left my scissors on the kitchen table next to the quilt and that's what I get.  My little almost 5-year-old helper decided to clip a hole in it.  Oh well, he was "helping" and it gives the quilt character.

The blocks are color controlled to an extent.  Each block has two scraps from the grey family and two scraps from the yellow family.  I can now cross this UFO off my list.  It was on my list to complete in February and I only got the top pieced.  But now I happily cross it off of the Twelve UFO's for 2012.

Finished size is 82" x 92" --perfect for the sleeping on the couch!  Tadaaaaahhhhh!
