The Pineapple Popout Spice Quilt Pattern by Cut Loose Press introduces a fresh and exciting approach to pineapple blocks by combining two Creative Grids tools for a dramatic dimensional effect. The center pineapple block is created using the Creative Grids Mini Pineapple Trim Tool with narrow 1⁄2-inch finished rounds, then expanded outward using the Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool to form larger 1-inch finished rounds. By reversing the colours in each coordinated fabric set, this pattern creates a striking “pop-out” illusion that adds depth and movement to the quilt. The scrappy border and binding provide a modern finishing touch while allowing you to use a wide range of coordinating prints for added visual interest. This pattern is designed using trim-after-sewing construction, meaning each round is sewn oversized and then trimmed to precision with the ruler tools. This method ensures accurate blocks, clean lines, and consistent sizing — making the project both satisfying and stress-free to piece. With its bold structure, layered pineapple design, and vibrant layout, Pineapple Popout Spice is a stunning statement quilt that looks complex but is built with clear, tool-guided steps. It’s perfect for quilters who love geometric designs, dimensional effects, and learning new techniques while creating a polished finished quilt.
