Which is better!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Although they don't look like pineapple blocks due to color placement, here is a picture of two that I am currently working on. In case you haven't already guessed, on the left block the lighter red and blue fabrics are the wrong sides of the dark red and blue fabrics. They give the block a more rustic look but shows the individual pieces better than the block on the right. But I'm not sure which I like better. Which do you like better?

I like the left one--but both are great !

mucky 08-19-2018 02:55 PM

The one on the left

Nanny's dollface 08-19-2018 02:58 PM

I prefer one on the left- good work on both.

Monale 08-19-2018 03:06 PM

They are both beautiful, but I would vote for the one on the left.

Granna of 5 08-19-2018 03:25 PM

The one on the left just seem to appeal to me more. Like both.

nativetexan 08-19-2018 03:30 PM

I like the right one but both would work well together!

jlt37869 08-19-2018 04:08 PM

Interesting! Both look good.

SillySusan 08-19-2018 04:14 PM

Both are great!... But I like the one on the left. It looks more informal, so I guess if it depends if you want to go informal or formal. And the grey square in the center is much better with the colors in the one on the left. IMHO.

Tiggersmom 08-19-2018 04:21 PM

The one on the left and has more contrast........which is my preference.

Tartan 08-19-2018 04:24 PM

​I also like the contrast of the left one. The right one is nice also but you can’t really see the different pieces.

ragamuffin 08-19-2018 06:43 PM

I love the one on the right. It looks more rich in color. I think the light shows differently on the left one.

qltrwannab 08-19-2018 08:04 PM

Really like the one on the left... like they say.. you buy both sides of the fabric! But I like them both.. haha

Battle Axe 08-20-2018 02:16 AM

The one on the left is more whimsical, light, happy. The one on the right is strict, bold and unwavering, almost demanding. The one you pick depends on your mood.

quilterpurpledog 08-20-2018 02:55 AM

I like the one on the right. I do like the appearance on the color variation on the left; however, I would use other fabrics, right sides up, to achieve the color desired. I know you pay for the wrong side as well as the front side, but, the wrong side frequently shows inconsistently in color.

What an interesting pineapple block. Thanks for posting, it seems I am always making red/blue quilts. I have never thought of a pineapple block in this way. Good job. I like the left. It may just be the photo but the left one has more interest and variety

LGJARN52 08-20-2018 03:36 AM

Left side....did you use the backside of the fabric on the right for the left?

SusieQOH 08-20-2018 03:38 AM

Both are beautiful blocks. Just depends on the look you want.

Karamarie 08-20-2018 04:02 AM

Could you use both - alternating them?

Joset 08-20-2018 04:17 AM

they are both great like them both

sewnclog 08-20-2018 06:14 AM

I'm with everyone else; both are great but like the one on the left.

nonnie60 08-20-2018 06:27 AM

I like them both, it depends who is the recipient. Right is more masculine to me. I would probably use both in the same quilt. I think that would look good.

Jane Quilter 08-20-2018 07:28 AM

I like the right one.

Sewing Cynthia 08-20-2018 08:12 AM

I like variation of the left.

Jordan 08-20-2018 09:44 AM

I vote for the left one as I like the way it looks with lighter fabric-or the fabric from the right turned over.

I like the rich look of the one on the right also.

Pennyhal 08-20-2018 12:40 PM

I like the boldness of the right one.

Maggie_Sue 08-20-2018 12:53 PM

In the minority, but I like the one on the right best!

irenecarter 08-20-2018 01:02 PM

I like the right side ..but that's just me. Both are nice.

tstransky 08-20-2018 01:58 PM

The one on the right.

Three Dog Night 08-20-2018 02:28 PM

My eye was pulled immediately to the left block.

Boston1954 08-20-2018 02:40 PM

I'm very sorry. I cannot make up my mind. They are both gorgeous! Beautiful!

Jingle 08-20-2018 03:13 PM

I like both equally. I would alternate them in the same quilt.

ccthomas 08-20-2018 04:57 PM

Left block.

sewbizgirl 08-20-2018 05:04 PM

The left one! It has more contrast and more visual interest.

barny 08-20-2018 05:09 PM

They are different and I love them both!

Lena1952 08-21-2018 04:11 AM

I like them both. What if you mixed them in the quilt? There I go with my "what if?". This has taken me down many a road I had not planned but was happy I did. Well most of the time anyway:-)

TeresaA 08-21-2018 04:29 AM

I like both, but especially the one on the left. Whichever you choose, you should also include the other one in your quilt. Just one block of your outcast will add interest.

JanieH 08-21-2018 05:03 AM

I like the left one best.

Debbie C 08-21-2018 06:54 AM

Color variation on the LEFT really appeals to me
