Squished Pineapple - two wedding quilts

This quilt was made for Cody and Becky's wedding around in November of 1996ish. The pattern is not mine, but the way I pieced it was my own invention. It is done with strip piecing -- not paper piecing -- and the use of one template in the center following by a series of cuts done with a square ruler.

I made another one for Andy and Kelly's wedding. Theirs was burgandy and green.

I would so love to make it again; however, it takes 9 yards of just the background fabric -- around 18 yards total. It would cost $170 just to make the top at today's prices.
