Last in, first out -- I pieced Jumbo Waffles last week. I quilted it in a simple grid using the walking foot. I pieced the four left over blocks into the back before they could be consigned to the orphan box.
My One Monthly Goal for April was to make a set of springtime placemats. I used a floral print ("Concord" on the selvage) that I've had for many years.

P.S. April 20 was National Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day. We celebrated appropriately.
Fabulous finishes, Nann!! Nice job on using up some deep stash on those placemat, too.
ReplyDeleteNice new finishes! Didn’t know about Pineapple upside down cake day. Wish I had because that’s our daughter’s favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I love your waffles quilt! Nice going on the place mats and potholders! I'd been craving something warm and pineapple-y recently, but the crisp was just "meh." Sounds like you had the right idea.
ReplyDeletedefinitely springy placemats!
ReplyDeleteI bet it has been 50 years since I have had pineapple upside down cake. My mother used to make it...she was an award winning baker so that wasn't the only treat I remember from my younger days.
ReplyDeleteI missed pineapple upside down cake day! Oh no!
ReplyDeleteI am working on something like waffle blocks too.
Yours if very nice! Stay safe and sew on !
Nice finish on the placemats. I can't say I have that book but I can say I remember seeing it! Darn, just seeing your pineapple upside down cake makes me want a piece! Hope it was yummy.
ReplyDeleteLove the Waffle Stamps quilt. Looks great for using scraps.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and placemats.
ReplyDeleteThat cake is yummy.
Oh what fun projects!! the spring placemats are just so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the print in your placemats. Well, I like your placemats too. I never know what size to make them or to make napkins. I've been in the mood to make placemats and matching napkins but never seem to get around to it.
ReplyDeleteWaffles turned out yummy.
Your quilts and placemats look great, Nann! My dad used to ask for pineapple upside down cake for his birthday every year (Dec. 24) and my mom didn’t like it so she’d always bake something else instead. Then it became my family’s tradition that I would bake pineapple upside down cake for his birthday every Christmas Eve and my sons would help by sticking the pecans down into the nooks and crannies between the pineapples. :-)
ReplyDeleteFun! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
