Hello my quilting family! Today, I would love to show you how I make Pineapple blocks with a square center.
I made the pineapple block with 3 different strip sizes of 1.5 inch, 2.0 inch and 2.5 inch. And frankly, I think I'm in love with the 1.5 inch strip block!!!
The secret to the success of this block is in the first and second round of trimming that create those prefect 1/4 inch seams and lovely points. After those two rounds, you trim back from the sewn line of the strip.
If you are using 1.5 inch strips, trim the sewn strip back to 1.0 inches.
If you are using 2.0 inch strips, trim the sewn strip back to 1.5 inches.
If you are using 2.5 inch strips, trim the sewn strip back to 2.0 inches.
If you use the other edge of the strip instead of the sewn line, you may have some distortion once the block gets bigger. Remember to trim each round until the block is big enough for your project and in this case, I needed my block to finish at 12.5 inches square.
These blocks will be donated to the Edmonton, Modern Quilt Guild for their ongoing charity sew along called Pineapple Party. If you are interested in joining the guild and sending us blocks, please contact them at: www.emqg.ca/
These blocks will then be loving sewn into a quilt by our guild members and donated to our charity, Lurana Shelter Society and they can be reached at: luranashelter.com/
I'm going to follow up with this tutorial with using a 60 Degree Triangle, Diamond and Hexagon centers as well as using 1.5 inch, 2.0 inch and 2.5 inch strips.
I hope you try to make this adorable block as it is sews up quick and easy. Another great scrap buster to try on your mountain of scraps! Have fun and enjoy!
