[ATTACH=CONFIG]545486[/ATTACH]Here's what I came up with. Even though the print is too busy for a full border I REALLY wanted to use it. I'd chosen the colors for the blocks from the selvedge dots, so it become important to me. I may add another border incorporating more of the fabrics from the blocks. We'll see. Right now it's 36 inches square, a good table topper size.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. The pineapple is the shape made when two blocks are sewn together with either two light sides or two dark sides touching. Example is post 431. They form the shape of a pineapple or sort of like a paper lantern. If you sew your blocks so one with light side touches the dark side of the other block you lose the pineapple shape, but the stars show up more. Hope this helps.
dhanke, that is a brilliant solution! It's beautiful; your colors make me think of a tropical setting.

Thanks everybody, for your kind words. Now I'm stuck. Can't decide... 4 in a row or 4 square? With pineapples or without? More blocks or not? Border or not? Been playing on the design wall and no closer to a decision than I was an hour ago! LOL (Did decide to make three blocks from a very different set of fabrics for in my sewing studio. I'm thinking chicken theme.)

Brown and blues, black and whites, tropical...all beautiful! This is a pattern when color really makes a statement. I think I need to make our soon to be grand daughter a baby quilt from this pattern. Only thing different I would do different is sew down the triangles. Wonder what it would look like in soft baby pastels??
