To say that I love my latest quilt is an understatement. The block is the old fashioned pineapple block and I've made it super scrappy with loads of different fabrics and mixed prints. Add in all 42 super, cute, fussy cut centers, the most perfect floral on a happy, yellow backing and a binding that seems to frame it all perfectly, and it's got me grinning ear-to-ear every time I see it.
I hosted an informal quilt along over on Instagram and you can see all the great quilts being made by browsing the hashtag #superscrappypineapple .

P.S. Ever thought of making one? I used the Pineapple Trim Tool from Creative Grids and it was like magic! It made precision easy with these blocks. I highly recommend it. And, Creative Grids has no idea who I am, I just really thought the ruler was a game changer. Nearly every time I trimmed a round on my blocks it blew my mind with it's awesomeness.

I have been seeing snippets of this on IG, and loving it! I've loved this quilt design since I was little. This might just be the nudge I need to make my own. Thanks for the inspiration.
Dana, this is beyond gorgeous!! I love it and I love how the dark binding contains the scrappiness beautifully!!! So glad I followed you on this super scrappy pineapple block quilt…I love each and every one of my blocks. And, I agree with what you said about the pineapple trim tool…it is totally awesome!!
Good to know the tool works! I'd probably never attempt this without a good tool. It's gorgeous!
Oh, Dana! This isn't just gorgeous. So many pieces!
I was so excited to see your post pop up in my feed. You've made yourself one beautiful quilt! Oh you've got me itching to get back to some sewing.
I am not a fan of orange daylilies BUT they sure set off your beautiful quilt!!!! Great finish.
Love it.... This one's on my "to do list" which just seems to be getting longer and longer.

Another absolutely gorgeous quilt! I love the blocks and your backing-both are perfect. You should be proud.

Oh I got turned on to pineapple blocks recently and now I wanna Pineapple All The things! I have that ruler in a cart at one shop and am waiting for when I need to order other things too.

First of all, thank you! Second, you totally should make one! I really enjoyed the process and kinda want to make another. :)

The tool was like some form of dark magic! Soooooooooo worth the $$!!

That's a really lovely quilt - it is amazing how well so many scrappy fabrics can go together with the right pattern. Also love your flowers, especially the coneflowers!

I love this quilt! I've always been wanting to make one of these but thought it was too much work. But this tool sounds very handy. What size did you make your blocks?
