Pineapple blocks are fun, but very time consuming to make using paper piecing.  Here are a few other options to making these popular blocks by using piecing and trimming.   Enjoy.

Another option is using a Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool, which makes the process much faster.  Watch this video from Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company showing how to use the ruler tool.  If you search You Tube, there are a number of videos demonstrating the Trim Tool, but I happen to like this one the best.
PS- Creative Grids makes the Trim Tool in 2 sizes.  The large one makes 6-8-10 inch blocks.  The small one makes 4-5-6 inch blocks.  
PSS - You can use scraps for make these blocks too!
