Have you made sure to pick up all the pattern from the Fruit BOM? Not only are there some great layout ideas on how to add your fruit blocks, but the applique blocks are adorable alone. It is time to show how I added them. Amy, here from Sew Incredibly Crazy, to share my quilt layout.
Paper Pieced Fruit Salad Quilt
Finished size 32 1/2″ square
If you have never uses the HeatnBond EZ-Print Quilt Block Sheets for paper piecing, you are missing out. They make paper piecing a breeze. They are easy to see where the fabric is to stitch.
The blocks that were made for this quilt were printed out separately. They were large enough to require 4 sheets a block. I choose to make the blocks and then add the Fruit applique afterward.
The blocks were created using an assortment of beautiful Batik fabrics by Island Batiks.
Like with any paper piecing project, the stitching needs to be set smaller. The HeatnBond EZ-Print paper makes it easy to remove after stitching.
There are so many different and fun ways to use these patterns. I hope I inspired you to try something new.

Tips:
Pre-wash all materials (without fabric softener) you will be using prior to fusing. Pre-test adhesive on materials prior to fusing.
Do not touch iron directly to the adhesive sheet. Do not iron directly to your ironing board.
Item must be sewn or otherwise attached before washing. Machine wash cold and dry on low heat or no heat (and in accordance to garment/fabric washing directions). Avoid repeated or excessive ironing to the area after fusing.
EZ Sheets can be run thru an INKJET printer (NOT a laser jet or copy machine). Feed EZ Sheet into a printer to print on the paper side, set printer to Draft or Transparency setting, allow to dry before touching. Run any lettering in mirror setting so they are the correct orientation when cutting from the fabric.
