Pineapple Quilt - Foundation or Not
I'm working on a queen size pineapple log cabin quilt for my son. I rarely do such large quilts and I'm wondering if I should use a foundation paper pieced method of the more traditional route. Each block will be 17" when complete. It seems easy to square up to the right size after each new round of pieces is added but I'm concerned it could easily get out of whack. Any tips?

Anne - Thanks for the tip. I just watched it (again). I had dismissed it the first time because of the size difference - my pattern is 1 and 5/8 inch strips and seventeen rounds. On second viewing I realized the cuts will be the same and much easier from the back!
Thanks!

Blocks are almost done. Thank you all for the reference to Gyleen Fitzgerald's method. Her approach to measuring was a huge help. (Will still need to block these but they are much more consistent thanks to the three reference points Gyleen uses.)
We're auditioning the corner triangle for each block. My son is leaning toward consistent medium green as shown in the lower blocks in the photo.
Any tips on the quilting pattern are welcome. I'm thinking a big circle around each gold outer edge (hard to describe but would be overlapping circles). The green would need quilting as well but maybe in the ditch???

I don't know if you have quilted your pineapples or not yet, but I finally finished a twin size using Gyleen's method. I had never used a long-arm before so I took a 3 hour class and rented the machine for a day! I knew that I was going to do something non-linear and fun. I just played! I have a tendency to be very structured and I gave myself permission to do whatever felt right! It was a blast. Here are a couple of pictures of the quilt. I don't have any of it bound because I couldn't hang it myself for a picture and I just wanted it out of my house! The other thing was it was for a 7 year old and I figured she wouldn't be very critical of the quilting.
