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.

I also have a Hawaiian quilt on my list and plan to do it by machine. I made a test square using raw edge fusible applique and clear thread, and it came out great. Even washed without fraying!
Keep up the good work!
