This is what i'm working on now. my has red center and scrap. my block are only 6 in so will be doneing them for ever and ever and ever. but i working up a lot of my scraps.

it looks very much like a paper design from Lynn Graves of Little Foot. Check her web site and see if it is.

Oh yes, this is a pineapple block. This is an easy and fun block to paper piece, just time consuming. Usually pineapple blocks have a red center, but I've seen them without...you'll want to number each square in the order to sew them, starting with the innermost square which will be number one. Here's a couple pictures of some of mine that I've made...I think you can even see the numbering enough on my paper templates for you to number yours. If you have any questions on how to put this together I'd be happy to help. ;)

I finally made it through 16 of these 12" blocks and I'm not going to do any more! I wanted to do it as a scrappy with a lot of purple as this is for my sister in law and she loves purple.
I screwed up my colors arrangements (light/dark) on several so it doesn't flow correctly on all the blocks, but it will stay as is.

Thanks to everyone for instructions and samples.

It looks wonderful! It's scrappy and fun, and gives you a lot to look at. I'm a purple lover too, and I'd be thrilled with it.

It looks absolutely gorgeous!

Pineapple. Here's one I did, paying attention to values:

Ooohh Peggi---BEAUTIFUL....Maybe my next one will work out better since I'll know what I'm doing.
