I'm making a queen size scrappy one with my left over jelly roll strips and stash fabric. The blocks are addictive.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That sounds like a great idea! Feel free to share project photos with us! Thanks for your comment! - Abby

I am so excited I just ordered the ruler as well as the quilt kit. This will be a great gift for my niece the colors are bright and bold and beautiful just like her and her style. Thank you for a great demonstration.

Great tool, great tutorial. This is even easier than paper-pieced pineapple, in 3 really useful block sizes. With this tool, I could even see myself using a black velveteen (maybe slightly wider black strips around the center block), because I could count on the trim-up process to make up for the different fabric weight of the quilter’s cotton and the velveteen. That would remind me of the different textures seen in the original crazy quilts. I like the different textures of crazy quilts, but I’m not fond of the irregular shapes. So this pineapple tool would let me have the best of both worlds. 🙏☺️💙

[@suzisaintjames]

Do you think using the tool or using paper piecing has more wasted fabric? 💖🌞🌵😷

[@Denise11Schultz]

@@suzisaintjames maybe Michelle knows, but I was thinking of trying the tool with precut shapes like this: / \ / \. Also the tool will keep the shapes straight on grain, which is not so easy with paper piecing.

What a pretty quilt! It does look very intimidating but you make it look so easy!

Thank you for showing how the tool works. I have had the tool for years in my tool box. But, it is on my want to try to do list. This was fun and interesting to watch you give instructions and directions.

[@welshwitch2126]

I just got my kit and I LOVE that you’ve separated the fabrics into the individual blocks! It makes it so much easier to make the gradation in the colors and takes the guesswork out of it. I saw the recommendation to soak the fabric first because of color bleeding. Can the sizing/starch take the place of the soaking?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi! Sizing/Starch will not take the place of soaking and rinsing the fabric. -Bethany

I LOVE this! Just now seeing the video from 2022. I don’t suppose I can order the pattern?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Nancy - We're so glad you enjoy this fun pineapple block! Our blocks for this quilt are made with the Creative Grids® Pineapple Trim Tool, which comes with instructions. You may find our Free Download, available here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/129 useful in the construction too. Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle

[@HeideD100]

Did I miss? Did you use a jelly roll to make the finished quilt behind you?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

This is made from yardage, not a jelly roll. The pattern calls for strips 1 3/4" wide, so a jelly roll would be too wide. Hope this info helps! -Bethany

[@lucillebarone6509]

Does the kit fabrics come cut to size , how are they sent to you ? Do you get the backing fabric ?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Lucille - This Pineapple Quilt Kit will come with the pattern and all fabrics for top and binding. The fabric included in this kit will not be precut. 💖 -Michelle

Never mind-guess I can figure out the pattern just by watching the video! Thanks!

Wish there was an oops kit for this one. 😁

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That does sound like a great idea! 💖 -Michelle

Are the kits still available?

Yes, you can Reserve your Pineapple Quilt Kit in the bold Bossa Nova Batiks here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p138626 💖 -Michelle

I know the kit is no longer available. But if I wanted to order this fabric, how much would I need?

😢I really want this kit but I can not find it

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're glad you enjoy this cute kit! Stay tuned, because I think I heard that we *may* be redoing this one soon (in new fabrics!). -Michelle

[@JoanHolland-vu2lz]

What is the size of your center square?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Joan - The center square measurement of 2.5" can be found on the Pineapple Trim Tool. Hope this helps! -Michelle

[@JoanHolland-vu2lz]

@@ShabbyFabrics Thank you Michelle, What if you use a center square of only 2" Does that make a smaller block? How do you get 3 different sizes?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

This Pineapple Trim Tool we used allows you to create 6", 8", or 10" blocks. Using a center smaller than the design on the ruler tool will make your rounds uneven. If you use a center square of only 2", you may want to use this skinny pineapple tool" www.shabbyfabrics.com/p125147 -Michelle

[@welshwitch2126]

Could you use a jelly roll and cut the strips into two 1 3/4” strips? Oh wait. You could only get one strip out of each jelly roll. Never mind!

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

Its very pretty but it does a number on my eyes.
