I found this book to be very helpful and loved the techniques. I made a baby quilt for a great great niece and a pillow and used the technique to make the pineapple patchwork. They loved it and Amazon as usual shipped it right away and the quality of the book is great. I would recommend it to any quilter that wants to do this type of patchwork.

This book is just what I wanted - clear and simple illustrations and instructions. I was able to make the quilt illustrated on the cover with no problems. My only issue would be that the book is a little pricey for only 16 pages, although it's very sturdy, made with thick paper, so I'm not complaining much.

If you have always wanted to make the pineapple blocks but were a little afraid of the difficult, this is the book for you. It is a very small book but great for giving a really wonderful technique for this very beautiful block style. I have made several already and they turned out perfectly! Thanks Karin.

a very small book, not many pages. It arrived and smelled badly of mildew. I like the front quilt so I took a picture of it and will try to replicate it, as the book has to be tossed out.

Wish I would have thought of this. It's a wonderful way to make a pineapple block and not all the work. The blocks just mulitply in a few hours you have enough make for several quilts.

Sew easy to make these exploding pineapples if you can stitch straight line with your sewing machine all you need to do is follow the sizes of squares, sew together, press , trim where instructions say then repeat so easy and very quick to do this pattern I will be using from now on as no more tiny pieces to stitch together, as I hate fiddly piecing, this lady was so clever to enable you to make something which looks complicated. Will be getting more of her books when I can, especially to do quilts.
