a while back i was in Calgary and found two of the coolest damn Hawaiian shirts i had ever seen (pictured below, both of the yummiest barkcloth).

alas, they wuz WAY too small for me, but that didn't stop me from bringing them home.

soon after, a conversation with SweetDaddyTiki led to the idea of turning these otherwise-unwearable (by me) Hawaiian shirts into Q U I L T gold!

one quick phone call to my Mom, and the tiki quilt project was underway!

i've now got 10 shirts in total, plus some bits of aesthetically similar cloth. just need the back of the quilt (solid dark colour, perhaps?), and then it's time to fire up the Singer!

here's the rest of 'em (i really like orange/brown/yellow, so i probably won't use the green one), and a slightly larger sample of each pattern:

*with bends like these, who needs anemones?
