Pineapple is a classic block though this video tutorial demonstrates a different technique by Karin Hellaby to make one.
The other block uses prairie points in a pinwheel block. Make a full quilt or add a few feature blocks.

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

Received your book but the 2 blocks you show aren’t in there. Lots of nice blocks especially the hunter star.
