It might have been a hibiscus bud, I know it was some flower name. I was just given the pattern to trace onto my folded fabric...

We had a woman from Hawaii speak at our Guild meeting and she had a class the following day. I didnt get my name in in time or I would have learned this too. Her name was Nancy something from Pacific Rim Quilting. Her trunk show was amazing.

That is just spectacular! When I was in Maui (eons ago), the Marriott we stayed in had these beautiful quilts hung all thru the hotel & it was all the could do to drag me away from them to go see the sights of Maui... LOL! Your version is just beautiful... I love the soft blue. Thanks for sharing it with us!

I learned this technique from a woman who lived in Hawaii. The traditional pattern is cut from folded fabric, much like we used to do to cut out snowflakes as children. It is then needle-turned applique' (new to me) and then "echo" quilted by hand. Quite a stretch outside of my box, but I really enjoyed it. I am going to turn it into a large tote bag. Others are choosing to make pillows, but I figure, one can never have too many bags (or is that diamonds, or shoes)? Hahaha.
We can never have to to many bags or fabric...can't forget about the fabric!!!!
That is wonderful. I've been eyeing these up but haven't tried it yet. They are just amazing.
