I'm back today with a tutorial on how I made my Pineapple Quilt Block. You can find other tutorials with a Google search, but I haven't seen one using this method. I found it quite easy and accurate. As I mentioned in my last post, I seem to have discarded the fabric requirement list for this quilt. Sorry about that! I know for the print fabrics, I needed more than 1/2 yard {more like 3/4} for the prints that run diagonally through the center as there are more blocks with those colors. Note: This is my original EQ7 plan. In reality, I changed the block's center square to gray. Block size 10" finished {10 1/2" unfinished} Cutting instructions for one block: Gray for center square: 1 square 3 3/8" (or 3 5/16" to be exact). I like to use my On-Point ruler for cutting these types of on point squares that don't fit exactly to our regular ruler measurements. With this ruler, you would use the 4" finished diagonal measurement. White: 2 squares 2 7/8", cut once diagonally (You can cut these larger, like 3" or 3 1/4" if you like to trim/square up your center Square-in-a-Square unit) White: 12 squares 2 1/2" From EACH of 2 colors: one - 1 1/2" x 4 1/2"; two - 1 1/2" x 6 1/2"; two - 1 1/2" x 8 1/2"; one - 1 1/2" x 10 1/2" Sewing: Use a scant 1/4" seam allowance Stitch and Flip Triangles are made by drawing a diagonal line on the wrong side of the 2 1/2" squares, sewing on the line, trimming to 1/4" seam allowance and pressing out. 1- Make the Square-in-a-Square by sewing the 2 7/8" triangles to opposite sides of the gray square. Press. Sew triangles to the remaining two sides and press. If you've oversized the white triangles, trim the unit to 4 1/2" by placing the 2 1/4" mark of the ruler on the center points. 2 - Sew a 1 1/2" x 4 1/2" rectangle to opposite sides of the unit from step 1. Sew a 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle to the remaining two sides as pictured. 3 - Use the Stitch and Flip method, placing a white 2 1/2" square on each corner, to make a triangle on each corner. 4 - Sew a 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle to opposite sides of the unit as pictured. Press. Repeat with the 1 1/2" x 8 1/2" rectangles. 5 - Repeat Step 3 to create a white triangle on each corner. 6 - Sew a 1 1/2" x 8 1/2" rectangle to opposite sides as pictured. Press. Repeat with the 1 1/2" x 10 1/2" rectangles. 7 - Repeat Step 3 again to create a white triangle at each corner of the block. And there you go! No paper piecing or tricky trimming! When I made my quilt, I started at one corner and made the blocks for each diagonal row together. This made it super easy to keep track of the colors. Once the blocks are made, there's no rearranging. Just sew the straight rows together! Hope this helps!
