Your quilt is gorgeous! I did a 24" pillow with Hawaiian applique and both enjoyed it and "hated" it because it took so long . Of course, I only worked on it in waiting rooms for doctors, dentists, etc. Still, it really makes me appreciate the time and effort and LOVE you have put into your quilt!
I visited Hawaii in 2007 and saw many beautiful Hawaiian quilts. Many are slept under just one night and then put up on display in the the house. Interesting custom.
