      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

            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?

                            Toni you can watch a video about posting photos to your profile here: http://daily-blog/109-tutorials/1270...-your-pictures

                            To add an avatar (profile photo) click on MY ACCOUNT (on the far right of the purple bar)
                            Click on MY PROFILE and scroll down to the box for PROFILE IMAGE.
                            Click on UPLOAD PROFILE IMAGE>click on choose photo> navigate to your desired photo in your computer files>select it and click OPEN.
                            Then click UPLOAD PHOTO
                            The top of the page will show a green bar that says "image uploaded"
                            Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on SUBMIT

                            Sometimes it takes a while for it to show up on the forum (it's a safety thing to catch spamers) and sometimes you will need to refresh or re-start your computer in order to see it.

                            Hope that helps!
