Two Hawaiian Quilts

Progress on two Hawaiian quilts - here is one in purple and cream that I have almost finished quilting. It is "Piilani" and will go off to FOQ in July. I need to finish quilting the edges - I have lightly marked in the edge line evenly around the four sides - now to finish the quilting. I also noticed that an area of one "arm" has escaped being quilted!!

Luckily I have plenty of fabric to make a binding this time. The wool wadding has worked well again, I think.

Here is Molokama, which is still a top. I like the dark blue and cream combination, good contrast. I have finished the applique and gave it a light press. Now, I have marked some areas with pins that need attention - places where the curves are a bit bumpy - I will go and tweek (resew) these. Also, I notice that the central circle is a bit wonky - I think that I will make a freezer paper curve and use that as a guide to even these out a bit. I know that I won't be able to make it a perfect circle.... Then the top will be ready for quilting. These patterns come from Poakalani of Honolulu and I do enjoy making them.....
