Hawaiian Quilt

I finished appliqueing the first square of my Hawaiian quilt.  I have the book Hawaiian Quilting by Elizabeth Root. It has twenty patterns to cut out and applique. She suggests quilting each square with the "quilt as you go" method because there is so much quilting in each square.I have to get all the squares appliqued first and that is a tremendous project. I am using many colors on a pale gray background.

I'm also making an (or is it "a"?) Hawaiian quilt. Mine's been in progress for, oh, at least 15 years. I never use a machine on any of my quilts so I find that appliqueing actually is faster for me than hand-piecing. I'll post a picture on my blog. Hope to see your finished product soon!
