Slow start to the new year!

Not much finished this year so far.  Our local quilt guild is having a block of the month program that is a little different.  The person in charge chooses a pattern and a color scheme and anyone that wants to participate can make a block.  Everyone that brings a block to the meeting gets their name put into a drawing and if their name is drawn they will all the blocks that were made for that month.  The number of blocks will vary depending on how many people decide it it worth the time to make a block that they will most likely not get to bring back home.  Some will decide its just not worth the trouble but I hope enough people join in to make it fun.  This is the block I made.  It is a Pineapple Star.  The pattern came from the Quilters Cache website.  It is paper pieced and finishes at 12 inches.
