Default Pineapple log cabin

I have always for the longest time wanted to make a pineapple log cabin. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the cutting of the block. I just received the Rotary cutting revolution book by Anita Grossman Soloman. I bought the book because, I thought she had a nice easy way of doing this block. Her method did seem pretty easy, but it's not incorporating tons of different fabric for that scrappy look I want. She layers two fabric's and the pattern and you cut from that. She does explain incorporating a few other colors into the quilt, but still not that beautiful scrappy I love so much.

Has anyone used her method and figured out a way to make it scrappy, scrappy?

I have not used her method. I think the Creative grids Pineapple ruler is super simple to use but you are limited to only one width of the logs. PP is another great way to do Pineapple.

I don't know if it's the same method/pattern, but I've made 4 VERY EASY pineapple quilts, it's a piece of cake, look up "exploding pineapple" block, if you can't find it, PM me and I'll send you a pdf of how it's done.

I paper-pieced mine and it's very scrappy. I used a pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts, but there are plenty of free patterns out there that you can use.

It helps if you think of it like a log cabin block. You start with your square and add sides and work from the center out.

There is a book and ruler just for scrappy Pineapple quilt blocks. Trash to Treasure by Gyleen X. Fitzgerald.
It's the best way I have used to make this block.

Here is a video describing her quilts.

I made an off center pineapple block quilt using the paper piecing method. It was easy to follow and now one of my favorite methods.
