I call it "Pineapple Lite". It's paper pieced, using the 1/8" Add-An-Eighth ruler (http://www.connectingthreads.com/too...r__D81902.html). With the border, it measures 13" x 13". I took a class and the instructor provided the pattern.

When I first started it, I have to admit it drove me a bit crazy, but then I really got into it. Even though the seams are tiny, the construction wasn't hard. I like "minis" as I don't have a lot of space to display full size quilts.

Me too! I've been pondering a pineapple for the past year, but the line-up of projects has delayed it! This one is inspiring me to move it up the list...

Wow! I wish I was capable of making one of those! (but quite frankly the pattern scares me and my eyes are not so good). Lovely work :thumbup:

Tootsie, could you tell me what pattern that is?

feline fanatic 06-13-2010 03:44 PM

I love this. So how big do the individual blocks measure?

Pals, it is the classic pineapple pattern it is a variation on log cabin. You can find it on quilters cache and several other sites but mostly for a 9 to 12" pineapple block. I have not seen a mini one but I bet you can find one if google mini pineapple block.

nwm50 06-13-2010 03:49 PM

Those sure are tiny peices...you have patience! Very impressed with your quilt!
