This is the first quilt I have ever made. I did it all by using my 25 year old Kenmore sewing machine except for hand sewing the binding. I cut out and appliqued the Hawaiian Leaf patterns to the top of each block. Then I sandwiched them, stitched the leaf lines and echo stitched around each one. I made this into a fitted bedspread. I completed it on February 9th. My husband and I are enjoying it every night now!

This is not a true Hawaiian Quilt as I did not hand sew the entire quilt. Thanks to my quilting friends (who do hand sew all their Hawaiian Quilts) who helped and encouraged me.

Wow on a first quilt! You did take on a challenge and did very well.

Wow, I really love your quilt - great job. I love the gourd leaf. I haven't seen that design. I have several of the Hawaiian designs but not that one.

Thanks for sharing,
