My sister in law brought me a bunch of foundation papers that she found. She doesn't have any instructions and doesn't remember what the pattern is called. Can any help and identify the pattern and tell me how it is sewn?

I think I can see from the center that each corner is done and added to, but I can't figure out how to color coordinate to form the pattern once the blocks are sewn together.

Looks similar to a pineapple block.

It's called the pineapple log cabin. If you do an internet search, you can probably find directions. But it looks like you start in the center and work your way out to the outside.

Yes, Pineapple Log Cabin

Wow, I knew I could find an answer here! Thanks ladies---you ROCK!

Here's a tutorial on it:

Thanks Lynda! I wonder how this would work up as a scrappy? Moonpi's example is great and I see exactly what I needed.

This is a beautiful pattern and can be made in two colors up to a scrappy style and anything inbetween. Do a search and you will see how wonderful and versital it is. On my list of favorites, it's right up at the top!
peace

Pineapple log cabin is my guess also.

Pineapple block.
