Scrappy Pineapple Quilt Block Tutorial

I have made a couple scrappy Pineapple quilts in my time. My first was a class through a local quilt shop. It was so much fun that when I got carried away cutting strips with my Go Cutter. I found it a great solution in using them up. Thus my Tropicalia quilt was born. I’ve had so many people ask about making this quilt I thought it would be fun to create a Scrappy Pineapple block tutorial.

What you will need to create your own scrappy pineapple block are scrappy strips 1 3/4″ -2″ wide. I did use 1 1/2″ but there is no margin for error when doing this. So be advised. I cut mine with my Go strip cutter. This ensures they are accurately cut, the first step in quilting accuracy. You could also use a honey bun from

You will also need a Pineapple ruler. This will make your block go together smoothly and accurately. It makes keeping everything square so much easier. Which will ensure the blocks go together correctly when you go to put them together in your quilt.
