The Pineapple

The Pineapple brings the meaning of "You are Perfect" and hospitality. Frequently people would use one piece of pattern fabric but in traditional Baltimore's, it is always layered fabric to bring in different colors. Personally, I don't know how a sharp scalely, tangy piece of fruit could mean hospitality. I would go more with open hands, or a hand shake or something more frilly. But then again, I don't know what the colonials were thinking. Meanings change all the time. Maybe pineapples were hard to get and were a delicacy. Who knows.
