Mini Pineapple Blocks Are Easier Than They Seem

May 27, 2025 | Paper Piecing, Quilt Blocks
| They’re Great for Beginners Too!
These intricate mini Pineapple blocks look fussy but are actually simple to make. They’re also great for those last bits of your favorite fabrics.
Choose between four mini block sizes, which can be used in many types of projects. They’ll be lovely in bags, small quilts, pillow covers, and much more.
Foundation paper piecing (FPP) ensures crisp, accurate blocks that go together quickly. These mini blocks are a great project for those new to FPP (you’ll find excellent FPP instructions here).
Designer Mariesa Morgan from Ten Cow Quilts provides instructions for 3″, 4″, 5″, and 6″ blocks.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
