Spanish Butterflies in My Pineapple Shampoo
#76
There is a book called "Sew Simple pineapple " by Karin Hellaby that is exactly what you're looking for. I taught a class on this technique and it's quick and easy. The only difference I found between this and a traditional pineapple block, is that in this one, the size of the side pieces increases as you get out from the center.. In a traditional pineapple block, the blades are all the same width.

if not, i'd bet that 3/8" on all sides would definitely do the trick.

it is nearly impossible to achieve and maintain any degree of precision and symmetry. it's great if you want wonky, whimsical and/or rustic pineapples. because of all the bias seams, everything starts going out of wack right away. you can only get some degree of precision if you painstakingly measure and trim every block after every round. not fun. :lol:
