Wow that is a good idea. I have just bought a book about crazy quilting and I want to try that too. I have a lot of options.
Now to get my husband to finish my new sewing room so I can start!!!!!! |
I will post a picture of my Hawaiian Quilt. Mind you that I didn't make it. I bought it just before we left the Islands. It was my gift to me.
|
That would be wonderful. Thank you so much. I have felt so welcomed here. This is really great. "I WUB DIS PWACE"

You could incorporate a 12 or 9 inch block of the traditional pinapple or any Hawaiian applique, and make the rest of a crazy quilt style with pieces of clothing from the two of them and add satin and lace with decorative stitching. Just a thought, that way if you feel the other style was to much you get the both of two worlds with royalty added. |
How Beautiful. They really are beautiful. Thank you for posting these.

I don't know anything about Hawaiian quilts, but i did a search for Hawaiian symbols and found this:
http://www.poakalani.net/storyquilts.html Scroll down to the emblems, click on an emblem and its story /meaning will come up. http://www.scribd.com/doc/5024138/ha...-and-happiness This site has different symbols and meanings. http://www.softexpressions.com/softw...waiianAppl.php This looks like a pretty good book on sale. Good luck, Christine |
Wow that was just what I am looking for. Thanks so much. I think I will be able to find exactly what I want now. I can't wait to get this thing rolling now. I think I have decided on a antique white base and a sage green design.

Change it to a wallhanging, and tell them how hard it is to make a Hawaiian quilt! They probably didn't know how difficult it is. 'Fess up and tell them you've never made that kind of quilt before, and maybe they'll ask for something else!
