The on-point setting sounds like a good idea. Our quilt guild has a fundraiser every year where folks donate 12" blocks for auction. I may incorporate this pineapple block into the center of a larger block. I don't know. Still gathering ideas.

How about setting it on point and make a mini medallion quilt with white HStriangles in the four corners. Do a narrow border around and bind it. Put hanging triangles on the with a small dowel between the triangles and hang in a small spot or even put it on your tree!

I have a really great book of all mini patterns. Let me know if you need a lead on patterns.
Thanks for showing!

I received a eye glass case that had a mini block. The maker pieced solid fabric around it and it was the center of attention. Sorry I don't have a photo.

Wow! Precision sewing! I would wear it as a pin. Perhaps you could add a border with your name on it for quilt guild days. The people at the guild meetings will understand your effort.
