Brenda, what I really like about the pink pineapples is how the purple makes the pink pop and the white shimmer. Lovely! Renata

I have book and ruler . . . have been quilting for 30 years - never made a pineapple! Am practicing - have made 3 blocks, still not one that measures a perfect 8 and a half inches for final trim. For some reason, 2 opposing sides on round 5 keep coming about an eighth-inch short . . . otherwise the rest is perfect! Yes, I've been measuring like crazy! Will try another!

I have made 6 blocks so far, it's very addictive, and as I run out of scraps I'm cutting new strips.
I don't have the ruler ( can't seem to get it in the UK ) but I have found that I can use the Jodie Barrows Square in a square it works quite well.
Maybe I will be able to get Gyleens ruler at the Festival of Quilts UK in August.
Happy quilting
Anne

Amapola, have you checked your 1/4" foot to make sure that it is accurate? I had a problem like that and had to adjust my foot about 3 threads to the right. It's amazing the difference that can make. Rita.

If you are unsure about your 1/4", you might want to try my "test": http://good-times.webshots.com/album/569415726bHNKHF

I ordered the book and ruler and have finished 20 blocks. I love the look, but the trauma of random is sometimes more than I can handle. The blocks have made a big dent in my scrap pile, but not so much with the closet stash. I am looking forward to trying some variations of lights and darks for another look. My big thing now is how big do I want to make this quilt?
