@rsislandcrafts2 жыл бұрын
Everyone kept telling me how diffuse this block was. I was a bit nervous when I started and I did get a bit confused a couple times in the earlier part of the block. But It was fun to sew and I wouldn’t mind making a quilts worth of pineapple blocks. I made a rainbow version on the livestream. I swapped the fabric placement so the rainbow colors were dominant. I’ll show It on my WiP It Wednesday this week.

This is perfect. I saw that Missouri Star video and loved it. Just like Jenny Doan, I always thought the Pineapple Quilt pattern looked way too complicated and difficult and I would never even attempt it. All those little jagged points! But it’s not! I bought the rulers, large and small, and I’ve been looking forward to making a Pineapple quilt. I’m in the process of moving to Maine so I can’t start it but I really wanted to understand the pattern without the MO Star rulers and you’re doing that for me. THANK YOU! Your blocks are beautiful! I love the colorful strips against the more neutral backgrounds. Surprise, I love the white background because you can see the strips better but I like the wider color strips, especially for a full-sized quilt. Maybe I just love your novelty fabrics.

Hi Uta. It does look a bit scary and complicated. My first two starts didn’t quite work out but my next two tries were fun.

Missouri Star depends on the rulers because they want you to buy them, but it’s still great to watch. Jenny Doan is so excited and happy about finding the pattern is not as complicated as she thought it was and she wants to share that. I’ve never seen her so excited about a pattern.

@@ladiehawk Worst case you embrace the wonky 😉. But I understand your frustration and wanting to keep your block square. I actually don’t have any extra tips for you unfortunately. That section has all of the information that you need to trim your square at that point. When I get stuck I watch that section in the video. Pause. “Rewind”. Then as the video is playing I pause It and do exactly what the instructor did. Pause. Rewatch the next section. Pause. Do the same step on my block. If that makes sense. If you pause the video at 9:20 that shows what your first corner should look like. There’s a 1/4” of the white section showing on the corner. That is your seam allowance for the next round. Once you have all of the four corners trimmed you should have a square. You could try going at It a bit differently until It clicks for you. I’ve had to go the long way around many times. I tend to get stuck on the simplest parts. You could try cutting a piece of paper that measures what the center square should be. Move the paper around and see if your mind can see where to trim the corners. Have you tried moving past this section and finish the block? Are you okay trimming any part after this? Or are you lost all the way through? If you’d like you can email me pictures to my gmail account. Sew your block up to the part where you get lost. Lay your ruler where you’ve been trimming the block. Send me a picture with your ruler on your block. Maybe I can see where you’re getting lost. I wish I could do more to help.

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a block or watched this video. If I remember correctly I talked through why I did that. I think it’s the seam allowance so It shouldn’t change.

I’ve been thinking that I need to revisit this block. It’s such a fun block with a great look in a quilt. Please let me know if you have any other issues and I’ll try to help.

I haven’t made a pineapple block in awhile so I went back I rewatched the video. If you rewatch each time I’m trimming a round I mention that I’m lining It up with the previous strip. There’s so much information in this video which makes It easy to miss a tip here and there. Once your block has a few rounds to It then you’ll be going off of the previous rounds. I did not use the 45 degree line as It grew. My strips were 1.5” and each time I trimmed I lined the 1.25” line on my ruler with the previous round. I hope that helps.

I don’t give a specific fabric amount per block. It depends on the size of your strips. This video shows you how to sew one block. I always recommend seeing a test block first. Then you’ll know how much fabric one block uses.

So far I’ve made a tote bag with a red, white, and blue pineapple block.

My husband watched this with me- he loved your explanation - he said HE could do this - thank you- ( he doesn’t follow direction well - little dyslexic among other blessings)! Great job!!
