Colors of Palolo Quilt
 

I haven't posted in ages but I've gotten lots of quilting done! Below is one of the projects I finished last year. It was a gift for my girlfriend who lives in Palolo Valley in Honolulu, hence the name of the quilt. I always stay with her when I visit and now my daughter and her boyfriend have moved there for a year or so while they work on a new online business. These are the colors of the valley. I went free-form on the backing pattern and ended up liking it so much that I followed the backing for the quilting pattern. I kept just cutting into the fabric and adding new sections to break it up. I had a few people tell me they like he back as well or more than the front. How fun!

Beautiful - both front and back! Love the colors.

I really like your quilt & I agree about the back. It is stunning. You done a super job on it.

Beautiful quilt, but I agree with some of the people who claim the back is gorgeous!

Beautiful! It matches the leaves in the background...

Wow, that is really cool...LOVE the back and how you quilted it too!

That's a great reversible quilt. Love it.

The colors and fabrics are gorgeous! Great design , both front and back. Reminds me of the lush colors of springtime in the sunshine after a rainstorm.

Beautiful quilt. Love the colors. Both back and front are gorgeous.

Beautiful quilt, and I'm with others, I like the back as well as the front.

Magnificent quilt!

It is stunning! I love the colors and the quilting is perfect. I also think I like the back the best, because it is so unique. Thanks for sharing!

Neat quilt~on both sides!!

very cool.

WOW, what a stunning back !! You color selection really does give the feel of Hawaii. I normally do something different on the back but that is way beyond anything I have ever done on a back. Absolutely STUNNING !!!

It is a beautiful quilt but I do LOVE the back! I will have to try that

Wow, yes, I love the back and the front.

great colour on both sides

Beautiful quilt, very cool back!

A fabulous "reversible" quilt!!

Both sides ARE beautiful. Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing photos.

Makes me want to live in Hawaii. Great job!

Wow, insanely envious of your daughter and BF living in Hawaii! Never been but would love to go.

Adore your quilt and have to agree that I really do like the back better than the front. But both sides are equally beautiful. I think what draws me to the back is that it is unique and different. It is vibrant and alive. It reminds me of spiky palm fronds in a rain forest so quite fitting for its destination. And I love those colors.

WOW. I do love that back. Great job!

Oh my goodness, yes!!! both sides are wonderful. Do that again!!

Both sides are beautiful! Thanks for sharing a terrific backing idea!

It's beautiful!!!

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Beautiful quilt both back & front love the colours

Love this quilt. Beautiful colours

very pretty!!! I love a good pieced back!

WOW. What is left to say. Both sides are beautiful and you are so creative to do the back that way. I am sure that we will soon see a lot of quilts with the same kind of back. Your quilting is super. All around a fabulous quilt. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

I just got back from three weeks in Hawaii, and you captured the colors perfectly. I love your quilt. The back is so creative. Wonderful work.

I love the colours, beatiful job

nicely done

How cool! Love it when you get two great sides; love them both.

Booth sides are great!

Striking! I love the back as well. The quilt holders are cute the way they did the display too. It looks like it belings in Hawaii.
