Petite Pineapples Quilt Pattern

The Petite Pineapples Quilt Pattern by Cut Loose Press is a clever and eye-catching mini quilt design that’s all about smart colour placement.
By reversing the traditional light and dark values in the pineapple block, this pattern makes the pineapple motif pop beautifully while creating striking secondary designs where the blocks meet.
Using the same fabrics in adjoining blocks builds a rhythmic layout, while the white space that appears once everything is pieced together creates the perfect backdrop to showcase decorative quilting.
It’s a wonderful project for quilters who enjoy visual tricks, modern layouts and letting their quilting stitches shine.
Better still, this pattern is strip friendly.
With block strips finishing at just 11⁄4 inches, it’s ideal for using up leftover 21⁄2-inch strips cut in half vertically, making it a brilliant scrap-buster for jelly roll leftovers and strip collections.
Finishing at 15in x 19in, this mini quilt is perfect as a wall hanging, table accent or framed textile artwork.
Designed for use with the Creative Grids CGRJAW3MINI ruler, with additional recommended rulers for accuracy and ease of cutting.
