The Hawaii Vacation Quilt complete

Well, the quilt is actually finished and in Hawaii with the family

Ashlynn's Hawaii quilt

 

 

 

Since Ashlynn was the motivation for the quilt, I used 'rainbow butterflies' (one of her favorite fabrics) to use for the back, it ties in all the colors used on the front.

this is the second time I used my 18~8 longarm quilt machine so I was a bit nervous, especially because it was all straight lines I used following the woven stripe design, yikes!!

I kept telling myself all mistakes would be forgiven because it was more for comforting a little girl than for anything else. She sat in the room the whole time I quilted it pretending to lead an orchestra,,,so funny!! Her waving knitting needle baton was a bit distracting, so that accounts for some of the wavy lines!

anyway, I'm sure she and the family will have some excellent memories for a lifetime and I can't wait to hear all about it

the Hawaii Vacation Quilt

This September, my oldest daughter and her family are going to Hawaii with her husband's parents! talk about lucky!! so they'll be gone for a few weeks which means I won't have my granddaughters' either (i watch them during the week) so this is going to be really different!  Well, I thought I'd make a vaca quilt for Ashlynn, because she might miss her MeMe (me!). I should make one for me too!!

Hawaiian print and sparkle sand white

      I'm using Happy Zombie's Lawn Chair pattern, it seemed appropriate for the occasion!

this is the layout for lawn chair pattern

                                                  It's really quick to cut out and sew!

I repurposed a quilt kit with the florals and Ashlynn picked out the sparkle sand white for the sashes, of course you have to have sparkles!!  Now I just have to put the top together and choose a back then we're done!!   I can't wait to see what she picks out for the back!
