Media Reviews
I must admit that pineapple quilts, while visually appealing, have never really turned my head much. This book has changed all that. There are several quilts in this book that are stunning and some that are very innovative variations of the traditional pineapple design. These quilts are foundation-pieced to help stabilize the pineapple block. The book not only offers various pineapple designs, but offers the reader the information they need to create their own design. Even if you are not a pineapple person, do me a favour and take a peek through this book to see the glorious possibilities. You'll understand what I am referring to and maybe get hooked just like I am!--The Canadian Quilter Magazine, Spring 2014
