Pineapple Quilt DVD

I was a bit skeptical about making a Pineapple block, but Eleanor's step-by-step guidance on the DVD makes it feel totally doable. The 27 minutes of viewing is just the right length to watch once and then follow along as I sew.

The 27-minute runtime is perfect for a quick sewing session, and Eleanor's assembly-line strip method made piecing my first block surprisingly easy to follow.

The assembly-line strip sewing technique is genius, I had all my strips cut and sewn in a single afternoon. For 27 minutes, Eleanor packs in such clear instruction that even a beginner like me felt confident. My first Pineapple block came out perfectly, ready to start the quilt.
