After I finished the Let's Pop Some Corn table runner, I trimmed the Indian Hatchet blocks that were pieced over the winter. This quilt isn't going to be a large quilt like the one I pieced last summer.
I added the borders after I was home from retreat, she measures 32.5" square.
The blocks were pieced using this tutorial.
The outside border was fabric given to me to be used in charity quilts.
I pieced several other small quilts since I was home also. Backing and binding have been prepared for them, but since I miter my binding, those triangles keep accumulating.
I've started a new project to use the triangles. Pineapple blocks are definitely not a Leader/Ender project.
For Leaders/Enders I'm sewing 1.5" squares together to eventually make foursies.

The small Indian hatchet is lovely, Gretchen. I am having so much fun making mine. Again, thanks for the inspiration and tutorial. The scrap pineapple blocks are pretty. Have a great sewing week.
I like your smaller Indian hatchet, and I remember that big one you had on your sofa. Those pineapple blocks are gorgeous!
I do love a pineapple, and the little Indian hatchet is so adorable. Have a great week sewing!
Your small Indian Hatchet quilt looks amazing, Gretchen and thank you so much for the tutorial- a great way to use up those little triangles left over from projects and love the idea of using the empty salad containers for holding the pieces. Happy quilting.
Am I the only one who gets rid of all those tiny pieces?
What a pretty top! I don't think I would have chosen that border fabric but it really compliments the blocks and makes them pop. Such a great choice. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
