Aged Christmas Pineapple By: Bonnie in Virginia, Virginia, USA
I started in 1992 during a class with Dixie Hall. I used older fabrics so I couldn’t find go-with colors. Fast forward 5 yrs & I finally found go-withs. Didn’t like my idea for borders until I started again in 2010 for a UFO challenge. Thus the title of Aged Christmas Pineapples.

So many lovelies !!
Beautiful!!
I just wanted to stop and take the time to Thank Michele for all the hard work she puts into this lovely site. I enjoy it very much, and I know that it takes a bit of her time when she could be doing something else. But thank you and Happy Holidays.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Jacquelyn. That means a lot to me.
Merry Christmas!
Michele
Well! How much fun was that herd of quilts? Thanks, Michele and thanks quilters for sharing. (GREAT way to start my day!)
How inspiring. Wish I had the time to run straight down to my studio and get busy. Maybe in January I can work on something for NEXT year!
It’s so much fun voting..but so very hard to make a decision. Beautiful, lovely quilts.
So tolle Quilts !
Wow! Tolle Quilts !
Beautiful quilts, thanks for sharing!
Just wondering why the number of votes isn’t the same for a total on which to base the percentage of the votes. Doesn’t seem fair.
Oh my, such beautiful quilts! The talent that surrounds us is truly amazing. Thanks for letting us see all this beauty.
Totally amazing selection! it was difficult to choose! Wonderful to see them. Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful quilts, Michelle. You do an amazing job on this website. Just started following it.
Best to you, Sondra
Hi Terri,
It’s not the total number of votes, it’s the number of Voters, and they can vote for up to 7 quilts this week. The total number of votes cast by all voters isn’t actually displayed but can be figured out by adding the individual votes.
Hope this helps to clarify.
Cheers,
Michele
Lots to choose from great job everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love the hot coco in or by each snowman
THEY ALL ARE GORGEOUS..
