Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

I've been collecting shirts that are not the right size with that purpose in mind too. This is the quilt my Mum made for my husband and I when we were married. I bought these fabrics in Waikiki last summer. This is a 'tiki find' that will be staying in the family for generations to come. Every one is a hawaiian print, including the white tone-on-tone print. I managed to find a blue print with tikis in it, it's neat to see them peeking out at you from the blocks and border. We designed the pattern together. The presence of white adds quite a bit to the colourful fabrics. There is a quilt made with different coloured hawaiian print fabrics in my Mum's quilt shop where I work. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow and post it for you. It's a very simple pattern that lends itself well to many bright coloured fabrics. [ Edited by: Tikiwahine on 2005-03-13 10:05 ]
