Offset Pineapple Block - Saundra Cindrich

Instructor contact: paprpcr@gmail.com or 801-473-8711

Class Description: You’ll have so much fun making these paper pieced blocks that you might not want to stop! I’m going to teach you the very best techniques for paper piecing. If you think you can’t do it or that you hate it then this is the class for you! Any skill level. It’s probably most fun made scrappy. One color way I’ve used is black, red, and cream—lots and lots of different scraps for this one. Another I’ve used batiks in a range of darks and contrast (mostly oranges and yellows).

You will actually make four 8” blocks and combine them into a 16” block that shows the movement of the colors. Best start with a color scheme and bring a variety of fabrics. This is almost a jelly roll quilt but you will need some bigger pieces. Plus I have to say that a jelly roll won't give you much variety or contrast. I would not recommend it.

Since this is totally scrappy I can’t tell you how much fabric to bring. Best start with a color scheme and bring a variety of fabrics in those schemes. This is a great stash buster quilt! Well maybe for some of us it is a stash "denter" quilt!

When: Friday, June 7 - 8:30 am to 5:00 pm

Skill level: All skill levels

Pattern/Kit Fee: $10.00

Supplies/Fabric Requirements:
tweezers with a pointed end
smaller ruler (a 6” x 12” is easier to handle than a long one)
rotary cutter and mat (if you have a small mat that you can have right at your sewing space that would be best)
I will bring the papers for you, and I’ll give you a master copy to print more.
scissors for paper
glue stick is helpful when you begin but is optional
thin, sharp pins. I don’t recommend the pins with the large yellow plastic heads as they are too thick and are a little dull for quilting purposes.
