A pineapple block quilt is on my bucket list. Someone gave me the creative grids pineapple ruler, with which I made one test block. There is a lot of trimming involved and I have a painful shoulder. The studio die is half off right now and there would be no trimming to do. Am I being silly to even consider the die which is pricey even with half off. Thanks for your feedback.

After my other post I looked At Accuquilt site it's selling for $79 and change.........At Amazon it's $81.99.
Where did you see it for 1/2 of the above mentioned price? If you can get one for $40, I would indeed buy it.

get the die! Their dies are so great for those blocks that are more complex due to small or bias cut pieces. I did 2 quilts last month using my LeMoyne Star die--can tell you now that there is no way I'd do it any other way.
