One of my favorite quilt blocks is the pineapple. My first attempt at a pineapple quilt was a table runner in the early 2000s.
When a local quilt shop offered a Saturday class for this table runner I was excited to finally learn the secret to this complicated looking block. Unfortunately, the class was canceled due to lack of participants. I was so sad. I already bought my fabric and was ready to go. I asked if I could purchase the pattern and try it on my own, but the instructor did not have a printed pattern to share. All I had was the class sign up sheet of papers lined drawing of the table runner that came with the fabric amount needed.
Determined to figure this table runner out - I counted up the rows on this drawing and guessed at the width of the fabric strips and here is what I came up with.
It came out great. This wasn't as hard as it looked. With it quilted in less than an hour why did this end up in my UFO pile? It now lays on my dining room table often.
This is so rewarding. Back to my UFO pile. Quilt number four is calling for the Midnight Stitcher.
