i have an amazing group of ladies who all love quilting and getting together. so we gather every couple of months to meet and swap mini quilts, mug rugs, or pillows. this last swap we decided on making a mini with a log cabin block, a traditional pineapple block, or an actually pineapple block.
lucky for me, my partner requested an actual pineapple block. well a few months ago i designed a pineapple block for myself for my Wall of Geekdom. so this was the perfect opportunity to revisit this pattern and make sure it still worked.
well obviously my pattern still worked! and after making it again, i now want a rainbow of pineapple for a quilt. i loved the colors my swap partner requested! my girls kept asking me why i was making a blue, gray, and peach pineapples because they are not those colors.
the quilting i decided a standard 1/2 inch grid quilting pattern. plus what is becoming my signature binding, a chunky binding. i love a good chunky binding! (my binding finishes at 1/2 inch versus the standard 1/4 inch binding)
such a fun project and hopefully soon i will have the pattern available for my pineapple block since i have received a few requests for one.
Quilt Stats:
Pattern: An Actual Pineapple Block, designed by me
Dimensions: 14 inches x 22 inches
Quilting: Straight line grid

I love these various coloured pineapples and I love the chunky binding. What a great gift this will be.
