ONLINE: Foundation Pieced Pineapple Blocks

Take a step-by-step quilting workshop with artist Julia McLeod on how to make this classic, pineapple quilt block using the technique of foundation piecing. A printed muslin foundation serves as your guide to accuracy as you sew along the lines. The foundation stays in place - no need to tear anything out like with paper piecing.

In this 3-hour class, Julia will also share a short slide show illustrating the history of the pineapple block, and the many ways that color choices can create dramatically different effects.

You'll be provided with:

• One panel of Benartex's Foundation by the Yard which gives you twelve, 10" finished Pineapple blocks*
• A supply list of suggested fabrics, colors and cutting instructions
• A pdf document of step by step directions to complete the block

This workshop will be recorded and will be made available to class participants for 2 weeks following the lesson.
