I realy like the bold prints and colors. I probably haven't made as many quilts with Hawaiian fabric as I would like because most of my quilts are made for some one else and they have other prefferences. Since it is so distinct I would love to see other quilts and projects made with it. Thanks, Anna

I love it too....mostly because William (DH) does...I make all of his Hawaiian shirts now, and I'm saving the scraps from those shirts to make him a quilt with... :)

Wow make shirts too. I have made some mumus mostly for my girls but I have not attempted shirts yet. did you use a Hawaiian shirts pattern or regular shirt pattern.

I hope to post some pictures of the quilts I made later. I can't get it to work right now.

When I get home I'll post the pattern maker and number for the shirt I make for him. It's a super simple pattern, takes me about 4 hours start to finish to make, and I match the fabric design up on the pocket and front panels. :)

I am a Hawaiian print lover too. Always have been. My husband has about 80 tropical print shirts, so you would think I would be sick of them, but nope. I have yet to make a quilt out of them although I do have a nice stack of tropical print fabrics. Someday, someday.

This is kinda sad or demented, not sure, but I think that if my dh goes before me, and I am still able an not too old, I will make my kids quilts out of all his shirts. Actually, I told him my plans and he did say he would start going through them and pull out some to use now, instead of waiting till he is gone. I wonder if I scared him?

I have a friend that was born and raised in Hawaii. She went there a couple of months ago and brought us all back some fabric. It was awesome!!!

I love Hawaiian fabric. I was teaching a Stack and Whack class once and one of the students used a hawaiian print that turned out beautiful. I think it was one of the prettiest ones I have seen.

Here's the pattern I use to make William's shirts..

Great to hear from some others that love those Hawaiian prints. Special thanks to Charlee for the link to the shirt pattern.

Here are some pictures of quilts I made using some Hawaiian style fabrics. These are all quilts I made years ago as it seems I just do not get to making for me quilts any more. I am planning to make a pieced quilt for DS that is helping me with holding up the quilts. He exclaimed how much he loves these quilts so maybe I can sqeeze one in with a star pattern, some thing else he loves, for Christmas.
