Tiny Tuesday - Pineapple

 This is the 4th block in the Midget Applique series.  It is called Pineapple and it has 4 pieces. I am love with the yellow fabric that I found for the pineapple.  There was a tiny little bit leftover from a paper piecing project of long ago.  I can see why applique fans save every little bit of fabric, the right one can really make a block pop. 
I used silk thread for the first time on this block and it really hides itself nicely.  I will definitely be using it for applique in the future.

That yellow really is perfect to represent a pineapple. Very nice!

Perfect fabric! Don't you just LOVE it when you happen to have exactly the right piece in your stash! I also use silk threads for applique and would never go back to regular threads - all the difference in the world.

Love your glorious little pineapple, the symbol of welcome. I think if it were mine I'd have to make 2 and frame one. Gorgeous.

I think this is my favorite midget block you've made.

It is perfect! I have been a convert since I tried the silk thread too. I think it does make a difference.
