This is the last of my Hawaiian applique blocks for my Aloha Album quilt. I was a bit intimidated by this block, the inner segments of the turtle shells had me on edge. I finished it while in NM and was surprised at how easy it was to do, it turns out I worried over nothing. Us chronic worry worts do that a lot. Now I worry if I will ever get time to sew another Aloha album block...But its probably a waste of energy too because the quilts that are keeping me from it are coming along nicely and I will be able to add the Album back into the rotation in a few months. I look forward to it, I miss the trips down memory lane that working on this quilt has triggered.

So did you reverse applique the shell pieces? Looks good.
ReplyDeleteActually no, they are not reverse appliques, just needle turn applique. Each center piece of the 4 shells was cut into the segments, I basted them back in place like a jigsaw puzzle and did the needle turn technique and Voila!
ReplyDeleteI just re-read what I wrote and I should have said, this is the last of my Hawaiian quilt blocks that I have finished, not the last I have to do!
