I've had these Hawaiian fabrics in my stash for a few years coming up with just the right plan for the large, beautiful prints. Since I joined pinterest I started a board for large print quilts and that has helped me to easily see different ideas that I could use for these fabrics.
I can't find the name for the one I used as my inspiration, so here it is as is.
These are the 2 squares in this quilt. It is a great scrappy quilt.
It took me 2 hours to do all the cutting and then about 3 hours to get it sewn this far.
As you can see from this picture, I came up one square short. Now how did I do that? I might just shorten the quilt, or if I want to take the time, make another square.
Maybe I'll even get it sewn together today.
Thank you for this post!!! I live in Hawaii and I have tons of "aloha" scraps. This inspires me to do something with them. So simple, yet so visually beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've collected tropical fabrics for years and recognize some of yours! I like how you've "windowed" all the fabrics and I may need to do something similar for a quilt for me! I keep making quilts for others, while my wonderful collection of these fabrics have been waiting to be showcased.
