After reading the book "Aloha" by Jennifer Chiaverini I had to attempt to make at least one block. I drew out my own pattern after searching the internet. I used a piece of pink batik and the background fabric is "Rock Candy" fabric. The only "kinda" white fabric I had at the time. I have throughly enjoyed doing the hand quilting as I find it relaxing. My stitches are all even but I'm trying! I've decided I really need to practice hand quilting in long straight lines to work on evenly spaces stitches.
But hey... have the fun of learning is the practice!

Your stitches look perfect! Very pretty:)

Love your block and your quilting is stunning. I thought it was machine quilted at first. Thanks for sharing.

Oh boy, that's pretty!

nice job

You have done well there- it is a great piece.

WOW :shock: Great job :thumbup: I want to try one someday , did you use heat n bond or anything on the applique or just button stitch it ?

Very pretty!

Beautiful. I'm in awe of those of you who hand quilt.

You did an awesome job with this! :)
