I've got a foundation pieced pineapple in progress, and I've bought all the Kansas Troubles Honey buns and yardage necessary to make a king-sized log cabin quilt. I'm planning an Oh-My-Gosh with honey buns and one of my recent quilts has a bazillion 9-patches made of 1½" strips.
I love 1½" strips because they look so much more intricate than the 2½".
