WIP -Aloha-

Ok so I am very excited to be starting this quilt ...I have been dreaming it up in my head for quite a while now so let's get to it! I am starting out by drawing a huge paper pattern, that will then be transfer to smaller freezer paper patterns, and the completed quilt will have pieced parts, turned under applique areas, thread sketching, maybe some hand embroidery, 3D flowers (not sure how this one will go but it will be trial and error), and in the end hopefully tell a story as well. It will be a travel quilt that will document not only a past trip to Hawaii, but also be taken with my husband and I when we go on our next trip to Hawaii......in MARCH...yes you heard that right....MARCH as in like 10 weeks (I have have a count down going on). It will be a small throw size, but I do plan on putting a lot of time into the project to make it unique, meaningful, beautiful, and most importantly one of a kind!


Fabric Choices...when looking at this picture I am thinking it looks drab....but I promise the colors are far from that! I picked out mainly batiks with a few other solids thrown in there. As time progresses hopefully it will become more clear the "master plan" (for you and for me!! haha)




The drawing started...minus the small appliques. Also, my 21 month daughter wanted to "draw" too....so there's her handiwork to the side! This is the ocean with a lagoon like look to it, with mountain range in back and beach in front. There will be greenery and flowers scattered along the right side as well as the left front corner.
