I realize that you might not get down to my reply but as you can see from my online name I am a Hawaiian quilter and have done King size Hawaiian quilts. I am amazed that you were able to do this with your sewing machine and even do the outline quilting on the machine.Good for you! It is beautiful. It would be interesting to see what you could do with some of the larger patterns. Jan :thumbup:

I did machine applique, using satin stitch. I got a lot better at it as I went along.
As another poster said, "better done the perfect" was kinda my feeling , too. My quilting friends had never seen a Hawaiian quilt done on machine, so they were interested in how it turned out, too.
Good Luck with your Hawaiian quilt.
