There's a foundation paper for piecing 1½" strips into pineapple blocks - each sheet makes a 12" finished block. You do all your placement and sewing on the printed side of the paper, so no holding the paper up to the light to make sure you have a space covered. You pre-cut all your 1½" strips to fit onto all the spaces on the foundation. There are guidelines for where to place each strip and all you do is sew a quarter-inch from the raw edges every time you put down a new strip. It was amazingly easy and fun and so precise!

Here's one place that carries them so you can see them. Your local quilt shop probably carries them.
