Hawaiian Quilt
#11
The first thing that came to mind was a chandelier quilt. Just another option to consider that would show off the individual prints.
Pechish, I immediately thought of the traditional Hawaiian quilts that are whole cloth and applique too. But with all of the smaller squares, a Hawaiian fabric focused quilt would be terrific and a whole different style. .

I wonder if something like this would work?
It is told about at https://charleydeeandme.blogspot.com...an-quilts.html I couldn't find a pattern, but it looks like the squares are sashed on two sides and then twisted in different directions.
Maybe some other ideas at https://lisaboyer.com/lindex.html

I can't post pictures and I know where the download button is, changing the size, etc. but it has been this way since that change the Board made a while back. I am having a computer tech coming to our house to figure out what is going wrong. So until that happens there are 105 various blues with white color, another white with yellow, brown and white floral petals and then the white background with pineapples. They are all 5" squares and seem to be a nice quality. I would like to keep the pineapple square the 5" size. Thought about a disappearing 9-patch, or one of the ideas already submitted. Appreciate all your help and by the time I get it done, I may be able to post a picture! Thanks all and have a blessed Christmas.

Hoping this link to Dunster's recent post works correctly - Chandelier Quilts - she made two fabulous chandelier quilts using Hawaiian fabrics and they turned out sharp!

Just a refresher for posting pictures
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?
Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
And how to use an ipad to post pictures can be found at Uploading photos
Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.
