"Mahalo" a new quilt

Sherry McConnell, of A Quilting Life visited our guild in July.

Her latest pattern "Mahalo" was the focus of our workshop.

What a pleasant lady.  She was so helpful, and full of tips,

on putting the block together.

This is her version of the quilt, with her newest fabric line.

She was so helpful on how the assembly worked for this quilt.
One block is made up of 16 smaller blocks.  How the 16 blocks are arranged
is what creates the overall pattern.

Sherry helping us out.

Someone in our group had purchased an antique quilt using a design similar to the one we were doing.

Everyone had different color choices.

How about this color combination.
I think it will be stunning.

I can't wait to see how everyone puts them together.

This one is so much fun.

How about this color combination?

Can you tell, this is what I am working on.
What a great way to use some of my Hawaiian fabrics.
After all, "Mahalo" is a Hawaiian expression for Hello, Goodbye, and Thank you.

Another great one.

Here are eight of my blocks together.
I need to cut more Hawaiian fabric for handwork while I am on the quilting cruise.

I am off to cut more fabric.  I have the background fabric cut and ready, it is the blades
that need to get readied.  (Even my background is a white on white Hawaiian fabric.)

Time to get busy again.  Have a great week.
