A Plate of Pineapples

Thanks to Amy over at Amy's Creative Side for hosting another fine Blogger's Quilt Festival. Here's my entry.
My quilt was made for a challenge using the "Dresden Plate" block as the jumping off point. I first pieced "Pineapple" blocks and sewed 3 of them together in a row. From those blocks I cut out a blade from the Dresden Plate. Then I sewed the blades together and finally applique'd the "plate" to the background.

Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
I made this quilt block for our PTQ's "Birds At Home" challenge.Owls
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
--Psalm 19:14
