TASTER: Pineapple Patchwork with Valerie Nesbitt
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 12-Feb-2021
This block doesn’t look a bit like the pineapple you might buy in the supermarket but remains a traditional favourite for those who like to use up scraps.
Valerie shares with you this lovely new acrylic ruler which allows you to stay safe when using the rotary cutter, and keeps the block perfectly sized at each stage giving you options for 6″ blocks, 8″ and 10″.
It is jelly roll friendly, but you would trim off a fair amount.
The Pineapple Trim Tool Ruler designed by Creative Grids, that Valerie uses in this video, is available in our shop. Click here to purchase.
