I have a special place in my heart for Hawaiian quilting, so when I saw your post, I went crazy with delight. I know the work it took to produce this and I believe every word that you did nothing else this last year. But, what an heirloom you have created. I have shared your photo with my readers on my Facebook Fan Page as I know they will be astonished at a king size Hawaiian quilt. And, I get the feeling you still don't quite believe it yourself!
See what you think:
http://on.fb.me/XkY1WK I hope you are going to Hawaii for the wedding. What a fine time that will be. There are many quilting collections you might want to visit while you're there. This one, you can go see this morning. You don't have to wait. It's at the Bailey House Museum on Maui.
http://on.fb.me/12cdhU7 Thanks for sharing. I am VERY proud of you and your accomplishment. Much Love, Fondly, Robin
Renee 765...I agree with everything that SunbonnetSmart.com stated regarding your Hawaiian quilt. I believe
you used a breadfruit pattern? I finished 2 years ago a queen size Plumeria quilt for my bed. At the time I was working 50 to 60 hours at my job, and due to the hot summer weather I just could not work with it so it took me almost 10 years to complete. I cannot imagine completing a king size in a year however I did have a friend who made a number of Hawaiian quilts in a year or slightly less. Previously I had made several Hawaiian wall hangings and at least 6 20inch Hawaiian style pillows. I had priced some Hawaiian quilts already made in Hawaii and they wanted $10,000 to $15,000. Too rich for my pocket book. Kelela
