The Raffle Quilt will be constructed from member contributed paper pieced Pineapple blocks to be raffled at the 2017 ‘Pieces of Our Lives’ Quilt Show. Each Pineapple block is composed of 4 blocks. Members that contribute blocks do not need to put together the entire Pineapple, just make the 4 (or more!) quarter blocks.  Kits will be assembled and distributed which will contain the red fabrics and a blue fabric for the center; members should contribute light colored fabrics for the remainder of the blocks.
