Each block requires 22 half-square triangles (HSTs), made using the simple 2-at-a-time method.

Cutting Guide

Here’s a quick breakdown of the cutting process:

• From binding fabric: cut 8 strips, 2 ½” wide.

Sewing the Pineapple Blocks

1. Make HSTs – Pair scrappy squares with background squares and sew using the 2-at-a-time method. Press seams toward the darker fabric. Trim to 2 ½” if needed.

2. Block Layout – Arrange 22 HST units with background squares to form the pineapple design.

3. Assemble the Block – Sew units in rows, then join rows together. Add 2 ½” background strips to the sides. Trim to 12 ½”.

Repeat the process to create:

• 5 yellow pineapple blocks

• 5 turquoise pineapple blocks

• 4 pink pineapple blocks

• 4 orange pineapple blocks

Assembling the Quilt Top

• Arrange all blocks on point with sashing strips and cornerstone squares between them.

• Add side and corner setting triangles for a clean frame.

• Sew rows together, alternating blocks and sashing rows.

Finishing the Quilt

• Layer quilt top, batting, and backing to create a quilt sandwich.
