I am drooling. That quilt is fabulous and I love log cabin patterns. Do you have any idea how many patterns are waiting in line?

All the traditional Pineapple log cabin blocks are paper pieced. I looked on littlefoot website and their pineapple patterns are paper pieced. DoJo is the pattern you used the off set Pineapple pattern? It was the only one for $10.

That is a beautiful quilt. It would be neat to do on tote bag or shirt too. The pineapple block I know about has lots of pieces & looks like strips.

I think this maybe what you are looking for. I've made a couple of these - I saw them at a quilt show in Pomona, Calif last spring and it was gorgeous, but their pattern was paper pieced which I haven't attempted that yet. There is a specially marked ruler for this (mine is by Nancy Smith & Lynda Milligan) called the Pineapple Rule. They are time consuming at first but I would think that once you got the hang of it they would go together much faster. I've only done two but I'm planning on doing a couple more for a table runner.

no mine was not the off set, it was just the plain pineapple. i bought it a couple years ago so maybe they went up in price since then. they are all done in strips except the middle square. i love paper piecing when it's all mapped out for ya, i couldn't do it otherwise.

Yes, this is what I was looking for. But it was done differently, not paper piecing. She sewed squares together, cut slits in the facing, put another square, and turned it, going on and on to make it about 12" per square. It seemed so simple. I ordered the book and should have it tomorrow.
Your quilt is gorgeous, especially the color combination. Thank you for sharing.
