Steve, the first quilters in the islands had only the fabrics the New England ladies brought with them on their voyages. From every story I've heard told, the plain cottons and calicos were puzzling and foreign to people who lived surrounded by vibrant, tropical colors. When bolts of bright turkey reds and deep rich golds were introduced, these were the fabrics of the first Hawaiian quilts.
The most fun I ever had in a fabric store was in a tiny quilt shop on Maui, where I was helped by several ladies who were yanking entire bolts of fabric off the wall and happily pairing royal purples with dazzling yellows, or a brilliant shade of emerald green with a blazing orange! The "oooh-ing" and "aaah-ing" and broad smiles that went on in that room was contagious! So does a lime green applique belong on a shade of blue the color of a peacock's tail? No worries! The only color that might still be considered an no-no is black, and some quilters are even shrugging off the taboo on it as well.
Enjoy your color match; Have fun, make the quilt your own!
