Pineapple - Quilt Block Workshop

The Pineapple block uses strips of fabric around a centre square. They are attached around the centre block and at 45 degrees. To prevent distortion foundation piecing is used.

This is a foundation pieced machine sewn block.

This workshop will teach you how to :

• Accurate cutting
• Undertake foundation piecing 
• Strategic and accurate pressing

This workshop is suitable for those how have done some patchwork or sewing in the past.

Fabric Requirements:

3 Fat Quarters, dark, light and one for accents - 4.5 inch square for centre. 

This quilt block workshop works beautifully as a standalone project, and the finished block could easily be transformed into a cushion. If, however, you'd like to create something larger, there are plenty of options available including a table runner, lap quilt or bed cover quilt.

You might choose to make several of the same block, or combine it with some of the other blocks featured in our workshop programme to design a quilt that is uniquely your own.

We also run regular Sash, Sandwich and Snack sessions to help you bring your quilt together. These workshops cover adding optional sashing between your blocks, incorporating borders, and preparing your quilt sandwich. You are very welcome to quilt your project yourself, or, if you prefer, have it completed by a professional long-arm quilter. We can then guide you through the final stage of finishing your quilt with binding.

Whether you're making a single statement piece or embarking on a full quilt project, we'll be here to support you every step of the way.

What to bring:

Bring along your fabric for this block or buy the ticket option with a kit. 

3 Fat Quarters, dark, light and one for accents - 4.5 inch square for centre. 

Please note that this workshop is held in our light and spacious first floor studio at Stitching Kitchen, which is accessible by stairs.
