I made this with FQ batiks from Island Batik

and the crossed canoe die from Accuquilt

I cut out sets of 4 from each of 24 fabrics (12 colors)

sewing them together they looked like ice cream cones!

and then all the blocks, notice how I did the rainbow order and the repeated for the next 12 and it worked out that if I alternated which block had the dark and light cross or a light or dark background, they were still alternating in the last 12 blocks.

I quilted it in a feather swirl design and added a sort of rainbow batik as binding
