The square points are cut off. Is that suppose to be like that for a pineapple block?

That is how it is supposed to be for the EXPLODING PINEAPPLE BLOCK…..I guess there are variations in the PINEAPPLE BLOCKS.

Awesome! I made a block in less than 30 minutes and that included picking out fabric (scraps, yeah), cutting, sewing, marking, squaring up and ironing! I have a fabulous block and I am going to use this method to make a quilt to donate to the fundraiser at my work for the Los Angeles Childrens Hospital! Thank you so much!

Can I tell you that I just LOVE you! I really didn’t want to do that paper piecing pineapple – too many P’s! I just wanted to use up some scraps and I loved the pineapple look with a black or a white. This is my first attempt at making a pineapple block and it took me less than 10 minutes – you rawk! I put your blog on facebook! Thank you so much!

Hi, this is a great tutorial! I’m glad I found it. I do have one question, though – maybe you have the answer. In traditional pineapple blocks, the points always show – with this method, the points are cut off (looks more like a snowball block in the centre). Would cutting subsequent squares larger (say by 1″?) and pinning so it poufs in the centre (like making a biscuit block for a quilt), work?? A friend and I were discussing this difference, and I thought some more, before writing this. Thanks for any input you or any of the ladies might have.

Hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
