Poor Man’s Pineapple

A simple block made from squares.

Pineapple block

Choose a light and dark fabric for best contrast. When making the quilt with only two colours, remember to alternate the colour of the centre square.

Method

  • Cut two squares of contrasting fabric in any size (4″. 5″, 6″)
  • On wrong side of fabric to be cut (not the centre square) draw diagonal lines (see pattern download below for diagrams)
  • Right sides together
  • Sew all around the squares
  • Slide scissors between fabrics and cut along the diagonal lines
  • Open and press out
