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.

OMG!!! This turned out so great and I can hardly wait to finish my mini madness project...
Usually I see white with the rainbow colors, so yours is so refreshing to see!! It really does make them pop, nice job!
Beautiful! The black just makes the batiks pop!
looks great! rainbow blocks and pineapple blocks are a great combo :)
I just love that Dotilicious line and what a great way to show it off. Fun to see the color choices from EQ also! When do we get to see the cream colorway? LOL!!!!
I love your quilt. The black colour makes the others pop. Those fabrics are so great. Earlier I thought that batics were pastels, but now I know that you can find them in fantastic bright colours, too.
Adorable! Dotalicious is such a fun line to work with!
I think this quilt is amazing!! Gorgeous colour placement and selection. Just beautiful!!
