That's what I was thinking and that's why I ordered it.

Well, I HAVE paper pieced a pineapple (which is very similar to a log cabin, just more pieces), and it was MUCH easier than squaring up after every single dang row. Geez, that sounds like so much extra work! And I never had to rip anything, because I don't sew through the paper.

Beautiful pineapple quilt. I just bought a pineapple quilt book. It wants a "pineapple ruler." The ruler looks very complicated.

Karen, I ordered this ruler and have to say how much I love it. It has made making the log cabin block a breeze! Just be sure to look at the website and follow the 'oh-so-easy' tutorial. You will master it in moments and love the results. I paid about $15 including shipping for mine and I'd do it again for such great results!
