Hawaiian Quilts on the Go

I enjoy making Hawaiian quilts, but the appliqué is more enjoyable than the quilting! The background is easy to quilt, but the appliqué, where there is an extra layer of cloth, is more difficult. So I have quilt tops waiting to be hand quilted and some partially quilted. But with no quilt shows, I guess that I have plenty of time to do this!

This is Ulu, an Elizabeth Akana design that I posterised. I like the combination of light grey and mid blue. I have started to quilt this, and am just waiting for blue thread to arrive in the post.

This is Kuuipo, still waiting to be basted and then quilted. 

This is Kuna wai, not basted yet, I was worried that there would not be enough contrast between the grey and the purple, but I think it works...

Kikui Nut, again partly quilted, the green is a print...

Carnation, again partly quilted with a dark pink print.

 And this is Umeke O Kamehameha in purple and orange, it is partly quilted.

I have ordered more patterns from Hawaii, and I hope they arrive safely. Last time, I had to pay customs (import duty) which added to the cost, but it is worth it to me as I get a lot of pleasure from these quilts.
