Pineapple Block- Variations? Techniques?
I've been wanting to tackle a pineapple block quilt for some time now, so now's the time. I have boxes of scraps that I want to use up and some scraps are pretty small. I've been looking at images on the search engine all morning, trying to decide what kind of look I want and how to put it together. I've seen some variations on the pattern; exploding pineapples, pineapples with vines, big pcs., tiny pcs, etc. I think that I'm going for lots of small pieces, either very scrappy looking, or very graphic (bold, two, or three tones.) I've seen a couple of methods in putting the block together; foundation paper pc. and no paper pc. I wonder which is better?
Does anyone have tips, or suggestions in design, or construction? Thanks!
