I finished my Aloha Quilt, made from a pattern and fabric based on the Elm Creek Quilts novel The Aloha Quilt. The fabric was designed by Red Rooster Fabrics, and the pattern is available online.

This is a gift for my sister-in-law, whom I'll be visiting in November. She loves Hawaii, reading, and quilts. I'm also giving her the book and a bookmark made from the selvage.

This is the first quilt I've made varying the quilting techniques. I forgot to change the thread (duh!) so the quilting isn't very prominent.

Choice of fabric is perfect. Beautiful quilt and lovely gift.

Very pretty, well done.

Came out beautiful. Nice job.

That was a great book!

Your quilt is lovely! I am sure she will love the gift! :)

Beautiful!

Wow, your quilt and quilting, both lovely. That is a great book.

Lovely quilt. You did a good job.

Gorgeous quilt, beautiful fabrics! I've thoroughly enjoyed this book series, but haven't read this one, yet.

Ooooo Very Pretty! I love the quilt, and that you made a book mark to go with the quilt and book :D:D:D

Hmm, I see I've fallen behind in my Chiaverini reading. That book hasn't made its way into my collection yet.

I have a couple Elm Creek Quilters pattern books and look at them lovingly and longingly but haven't yet made anything.
You've not only done a fabulous job on that quilt, you've thought of how to make an entire gift package.
How very thoughtful as well as talented.

Perfect name for a beautiful quilt.

Great job.

Very nice - your selections of colors is right on

Very pretty quilt. I am currently reading that book.

That is beautifal. I'm a bit behind on the books. I'm just now reading the New Years Quilt. That makes me want to read faster now. I had no idea there was fabric out for it. I guess I didn't realize there was a pattern either. Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

Beautiful - and love the bookmark. What a great use of the edge of the fabric.

Very lovely quilt and the fabrics are gorgeous. I have not read any of the books, but now I want to start the series. What a nice SIL you are, and what a nice SIL you must have for such wonderful gifts.

So lovely ... pattern and fabrics, too!

Beautiful quilt! Now I want to run out and get the book too!

Love, love, love your quilt. I saw online and wanted to make one so bad, but I have way too much already. Stunning.

The quilt is beautiful, and what a great idea to make a bookmark from the selvage!

It is a gorgeous quilt -- OMG are all those little tiny leaves appliqued?

What a great gift! You did a fab job too.

What a nice gift! Love the quilt and bookmark!! I enjoyed the book when it first was released.

VERY NICE!!! Anything "Hawaii" makes me think of warm, tropical breezes, crashing waves, and relaxing with a pina colada. :)
