The last two will definitely get me where I need to go. Thank you so much! When she said she wanted a black quilt I kind of cringed but then she found this one and I was relieved. I thought it was very pretty and she promised she wouldn't outgrow it. I have 10 grandchildren and 3 of them have requested quilts this summer. I told them maybe they would get them by the time they graduated from high school. The oldest one is 9. Maybe I have time to get them all done. Ann

It is a pineapple block, but a different version. The diagram below is the standard pineapple, and the corners DO get larger. But you can see there are no points until the last round. eta: And it looks like this is the same as the quilt photo above. The trick is just laying out the colors for each block. |

Here's a block colored like the quilt pic above:

I was not referring to the picture, but to the link posted upthread - as I stated. The triangles are NOT bigger. The diagram I supplied matches the blocks in the quilt picture upthread. And they don't have triangles in the corners. And here's that block in a layout. Of course, I'm using the same blocks over and over, where in the actual quilt, depending on how many colors, you really have to map it all out before you start. |
I love this pattern. I think it will be extraordinary when done.

Gorgeous! And thank you for taking the time to do this. She wants it done in shades of blues and greens with a black background. I am going to try and see if she would agree to some yellow also. She says "Just promise me no pink". I may be forced to go out and buy some fabric. Fortunately the Knoxville Quilt show is this week so I should have plenty of choices. Thank you again, Ann
