Hi, I was in Maui recently and took a traditional hawaiian quilt class. It was an applique using one of the many hawaiian designs like a pineapple, or plumeria, hibiscus, or bird of paradise. Anyway you could pick something like that and do a fusible applique to make it quicker using any of the beautiful batiks to give it the hawaiian flair. There are all sorts of patterns out there for that.
Good luck,
