Good morning and happy April, quilters! I hope everyone who was celebrating enjoyed a wonderful Easter or Passover last week. The Spring weather has arrived in Charlotte and there is a little gold butterfly fluttering around in the sunshine outside my window as I'm writing this. It's so hard to stay inside and get work done on a day like today! Of course, it helps when the work that keeps me indoors is as beautiful as Ramona's pineapple log cabin quilt!

I just love her watery blue and green batik fabrics against that crisp white background, and the skinny sashing with sapphire sashing posts is absolute genius. It's a beautiful variation on the traditional pineapple log cabin that also eliminates having to match up all those seams when the blocks are sewn together. Brilliant!

We used Hobbs Tuscany 80/20 Cotton/Wool batting for Ramona's quilt, a luxury all-natural alternative to the more common 80/20 cotton/poly blend batting (this post contains affiliate links). The Cotton/Wool blend has a little more loft, a little less weight, and breathes better than a cotton/poly blend.
