Pineapple Challenge
Six by six rows of 6in Pineapple blocks make up the centre of this vibrant quilt, which is surrounded by black spot fabric and Flying Geese corners.
The blocks and Flying Geese are made using the foundation paper piecing method. Robyn suggests that you colour one of the paper foundations with pencils in shades similar to the fabrics you choose to use, so you can refer to it as you piece each block to ensure you place the fabrics in the correct order.
If you are feeling up to it, make more of these sweet blocks and create a larger quilt. Alternatively, you can increase the block size for a quicker make.
