[QUOTE=Bluelady;1401605]OK. I went a little overboard on the fabric! I had to buy a new suitcase to bring it all home... But I couldn't resist. It was the day after snorkeling and the fish and reef fabric called out to me. And the bark cloth! Beautiful! I see several BQ type, and "can't cut this fabric" style quilts in my future! I managed to visit four shops, but only bought at two shops, Maui Quilt Shop and at Fabric Mart.
Assortment 1/2 yd Bark cloth

I've visited those exact quilt shops & have even purchased some of the same fabric! I even had to buy an extra suitcase too! :-O

Fabric mart

Lots of beautiful bark cloth and other Hawaiian prints there. I went to the one on Kalakaua Ave. They have a web site, http://fmart.com. Although the web site says the bark cloth is for upholstery or drapes, it will make beautiful quilts. It isn't that heavy, unless you get the heavy upholstery stuff. The bark cloth I bought was under $5 a yard.
The three rows of right to your right as you walk in are the most spectacular, most Hawaiian. All standing upright on rolls, the owner (manager?)constantly rearranging and putting back on the posts. Very helpful man.
If your boss goes to that store, tell him not to bother going upstairs. The bolts up there were nothing special.
Kamaiki Dry Goods was another quilt store I went to in Honolulu. Beautiful store, many many bolts of fabric, but 95 percent is stuff I find at quilt stores here and the prices there were a bit higher than here at a LQS.
