Kona Pineapple Block - Free Pattern

Our February program for the Greenville Modern Quilt Guild was all about paper piecing so I used the opportunity to try out a block that has been on my to-do list, a classic pineapple block.  After making one block, I don't think that I am up for a making an entire lap or bed pineapple quilt, but I think a mini would be very doable.

 For this block,  I customized a paper pieced pineapple block from EQ (finishing at 7" square) and used leftovers from a Kona summer 2013 charm pack, giving the block a very fun and scrappy look.  


I thought that I would share the block pattern with you in case you too had a pineapple quilt on your quilt bucket list, here is the 

 The pattern file contains the block template finishing at 7" square and a quilt color page to try out different color schemes.  The pattern does not contain paper piecing or fabric cutting instructions.

 I hope you pop over to Craftsy to download the free pattern and if you make a block or a quilt, please share your results on the flicker group Meadow Mist Designs and/or on Instagram using the hastag #MeadowMistDesigns.

    I counted 29 pieces - that's a lot of seams! I think I would probably stop at a mini, too, then! :)

    I love the all solids look to this block - really pops the graphic nature of it!

    That looks so fun, but I agree, I'm not sure I would make a big quilt with all of those seams.

    I love your use of the solids to make this old favorite modern, I also like the look of this as a mini, but it could be doable in a bigger size. The secret? Bigger scale blocks. And think of the quilting opportunities on all those solid pieces if you made giant blocks. Just sayin'
