Looking for pattern
 

Hi,

Does anyone know how to do an expanded pineapple block please? I was shown quickly today how to do it but have not remembered all the instructions. I know you start with two squares and sew round all four sides then cut diagonally across both ways on the top square then flip it out. But from there on I am lost. So hopefully one of you will know which block I am talking about.

Many thanks

Jenny

Here's a youtube demo and the name of the book/author: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3bejYQ4Oaw

Too cool!! Looks so easy.

There is a tutorial on this at the tutorial page with lots of pictures.

One more for my ever growing bucket list

Thank you Bernie that was the one.

BellaBoo,

Would you mind sending the link for this tutorial please, I have just gone through the list and couldn't find it.

Many thanks

I just took a class on this method last week. There are two wonderful books available by Karin Hellaby called "Sew Simple Pineapple" and "Pineapple Plus" by Quilter's Haven Publications. She uses the technique you are talking about and has many ideas in her books. Tip: Use the starch-type spray (Mary Ellen's something?) when you open and press to keep your bias from getting out of control.

Thank you Robin, have just ordered both books, should have them by Monday :-)
