Hawaiian Flowers

This is a quilt that I started a month ago, a few years after my son and his wife brought me most of the fabrics back from a trip to Hawaii.  I took this long to decide how I was going to use them.  Thanks to Pinterest and a board that I made to keep these ideas I finally came up with the one and the quilt is finished.


 This was a very easy quilt to piece and got put together in a matter of hours.  I should do more quilts like that.  You can get a lot done this way.
The quilting in this square was the best of the whole quilt.  I did freehand feathers and they are quite long.  Those long diagonals on feathers can still be hard to get straight.



 Here is Eloise singing in the rain.  I don't know if she was really singing at that moment, but she does sing a lot.  You can see more of her with the umbrella here.
