This block can be scrapped, planned or use charm squares and honeybun precuts. It can look like a traditional Pineapple block or with some other fabric placements be a great block to feature a fussy cut or photo. Here are two of my experimental blocks and a PDF with complete instructions and some sample full quilt layouts.

Looks like fun. Thanks

THank you! I will be using your tute in the future!!

Great tute, thanks

Thanks

Wow, what a coincidence i just bough hunny buns and i don't know what to do with them...Thanks a lot

Thanks for the tut really nice

Thanks - excellent job!

Thank you so much, always looking for simple easy to do blocks!! I've been looking for a way to show off favorite pieces of fabric, thank you.

Thanks for the download! Very nice. :-P

Thanks, this looks like a lot of fun. I will certainly try it.

YOUR TUTE IS REALLY GREAT!!!!!:)

Nice block and great instructions! Thx for sharing this with us.

Thanks for the tute. Can't wait to try it (after I get moved).

Thanks so much - this is something I will try soon.

That is a very clear and easy to follow tute. Thanks for sharing.

This is a nice simple block.....I really like it......Thank You.....

Thanks for the tute. Gotta try it!!

Thank you so much! Saved it till I can get to it. Love the brown quilt!

This is a great idea. You can use leftover strips and make it sort of scrapppy.

Thanks! I downloaded it and will try it soon.

:lol:
I am new to Quilt Board. Thank you so much for the mock pineapple block instructions. I have always steered away from pineapple blocks because they look like a lot of work and very complex. I will definitely try your method.

Thank you for this....I make lots of Pineapple quilts the Eleanor Burns way....but this is truly neat!

This would be a nice project with a picture in the center and then framed. Thanks for the pdf file

I found this on line. It is the basically the same thing just without the corner triangles. It was on a Simplicity free pattern site. I did edit it a bit taking out references for the ruler it is meant to sell. I don't think you need the ruler as any square ruler would do. I think it would make a nice addition to a quickie, no fuss, pineapple block reference.

I can see what you mean. It would be nice. I also thought you could quilt it, and then cut the center out with enough left over to wrap around an opening in a cardboard frame for a cute quilted picture frame, or maybe for featuring a photo on a quilted photo album cover. Also you could incorporate a open ended piece of clear vinyl into the center square so a photo could be dropped in or changed as often as you liked. It would make a good tote for new grandma so she could feature the baby.

Thank you so much....... I'd love to use this for a future Scrappy project :-D

I've never been much for pineapple blocks as they seem steppy and waste fabric, but this one sheds a whole new light on the block. Thanks, and will give this a try for sure.

Another one to try out on my list ! Thanks....

Neat quilt block. Have been trimming scraps and have a bag of 5" and 4" blocks.

Great tutorial!

Thanks, nice job!

I'm working on this block now. I'm using a 2 1/2" center square and 1 1/4" side strips. My corner triangles are also 2 1/2" squares cut on the diagonal, rather than larger squares quartered as in your tute.
I have found it easier if I cut off the overlaps of the strips before I sew on corner triangles using the 45 degree lines on my ruler to keep the block square. Will send pics later.

sounds interesting, post when you can.

I've been taking pics and will put it in a pdf when ready.

How large is your finished block? Looking forward to your pictures.

Love this. Thanks for sharing.I did a pineapple once and swore I would never do another one. Glad you oversized for squaring up. I can do this............

Yes, pls. post pics as I have done 4 framing some 12" blocks and the corners are NOT all the same size or really good. I am a visual learner and can't seem to figure out how to do that part.

Here's my adaptaion of the block. It makes a 6 1/2" finished block with a 2 1/2" cut center and 1 1/4" cut side strips and corner triangles cut from 2 1/2" squares.

WOW!, these blocks look great. Thanks for the tute as well. I really would like to see the quilt you make with this.
