My friend Tonya went to Hawaii last year and brought me back these beautiful little precut rectangles. I didn't know what to do with them but this board came to my rescue. You guys sent me to this website: http://lisaboyer.blogspot.com/2009/0...-giveaway.html

I used black trying to make the colors show up. It's really simple but I like it.

Thanks for looking
Sorry the pictures arent so great, it is HUGE so it's hard to get a picture

over the top beautiful. The black sashing really sets the colors off! Great choice:)

That is LOVELY. Reminds me of a gazillion TV screens, like in a studio, or fish aquariums...

i think the black offsets it perfectly ~ I see Hawai'i in every little "window" :)

I don't know how I will quilt it, I thought about large hawaiian flowers, but I can't do that I would have to send it off to a LA quilter.

What a great setting for those lovely fabrics.

caliquocat 06-05-2011 03:10 PM

Great use of your small squares of fabric. The black is just what they need. Very pretty quilt!

That's a great idea. I had a quilting friend who went to Hawaii and brought me back some precut small squares of fabric. I might do this with mine also.

Greenheron 06-06-2011 05:00 AM

Your quilt has a tropical glow.

GailG 06-06-2011 05:10 AM

What a great idea! I have a box full of home dec fabric taken from a book of sample fabrics of the same line. I have already cut into 6" squares. I could either use the squares as is, or I could cut the squares in half to have the rectangles. Will have to pull them out to see what sashing would be best to highlight the colors in the fabrics. I hope you don't mind us piggy-backing off of your idea. And thanks for the link. Although white is not my idea to use in my home (wink -- too many little ones and teens loving up my quilts), it is a gorgeous quilt.

I love quilts with black sashing!
