Hawaiian Quilt - Bed Patterns
|
|
For most of us, it was the sight of a large Hawaiian
Quilt that first caught our attention and sparked our imagination. "I
can do that!" we said. For those of you eager to have a traditional
bed-size quilt, here is your opportunity!
Please do not let the tiny size of the flowers, buds and leaves in these
thumbnail photos intimidate you.
Remember, you are looking at a 2" photograph of a bed-size quilt.
For example, the orchids in the Orchid pattern are about the size of
your fist
and the smallest bud is about 2"x2".
Perfectly doable for needleturn appliqué!

The center medallion remains the same no matter the size of the quilt.
It is the border that expands or becomes wider to make the quilt larger.
