Hospital Sketches

I've been working along slowly on this month's 

HOSPITAL SKETCHES block.

#5 - Pineapple

Barbara Brackman's article gave us some interesting information about the poet Walt Whitman visiting Civil War hospital patients.

I'm starting to think about how I'd like to assemble these blocks.  I'd like my quilt to be somewhat larger, so I'm toying with the idea of sashing to expand things a bit before I start planning borders.
