Wow! I love the block. In fact it is not easy to isolate the block.
Good job.

Paper piece it!

If you go to www.colourfulstitches.com, Gyleen has a great tool for pineapples. It's a plastic ruler that does everything. It has the marks to cut the strips and center squares and trimming and it's just great. I took a class recently and just loved it. She is great and doesn't mind if you contact her when you get stuck on something. Hers are scrappy pineapples but the principle is the same. There's books to go along with the ruler too. I have the book too.
