Pineapple Block ruler
I bought the Creative Grids Pineapple trim tool and love it! It made it so easy to make these pineapple blocks!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]584340[/ATTACH]I'm thinking of changing the fabric of the corner triangles on the bottom right block. Just doesn't look quite right. I'm using skinny strips and a jelly roll entirely for these blocks. Don't know what I'm going to make with them or how many blocks I'm going to make. Any suggestions?

I love this ruler as well.
One thing you could do is to use four different colors on each last corner - the light blue on one, the red on another, dark blue on the third, and something else (did I see a dark green?) on the last. Then when you join the blocks, put the same colors together to make a square of that color.

It’s looking great so far...I don’t think I’d make any changes yet. Can’t wait to see as you complete more blocks. I don’t have the pineapple ruler but I love a few of the Creative Grid rulers I have purchased.

I have always loved the look of pineapple quilts, but never had the desire to try one. I got the ruler, and now have 7 blocks made and several more almost done. I'm using solids brights in the skinny strips and a jelly roll of the same for the corners. I'm using white on the alternating rows. I have quite a few Creative Grids rulers, finding that they make life so much easier when you are up to a challenge. And I think I will use them more than once. They are something I feel is well worth the money.
As far as your blocks, they look great the way they are, do what you want. Mix them up in a quilt and the not so good ones will look as good as the ones you love.
