Island Batik Mini Madness

The Island Batik Ambassadors have March Mini Madness!!!
The rules for this month’s challenge were that it had to be paper pieced and had to be less than 24”

Finished size 14” x 14”

I started with the Crazy Pineapple block from  EQ7.

Next I played with rotating the block.

This is the layout I liked the best.

Now for the FUN part….COLORING. I imported Island Batik Dotalicious Fire fabrics. I was soooo excited to get a pack of rainbow fabrics! YUMMY!!!

You can find the EQ7 tutorial HERE for adding fabrics.

No matter how hard I try I always end up coming back to rainbows on black. I just love the way rainbow colors pop….but it’s still fun to see all the options.

 
Ahhhh, this one is actually very soothing.

Then simply click print and sew!
My project was quilted with Aurifil thread.
