Club EQ Album: June 2004 Challenge: Hawaiian Appliqué! Page 3

Design a block in the Hawaiian appliqué style, which means it can be cut as one piece from a square of fabric folded into a 1/8 wedge with one edge of the wedge on the bias and the other on the straight of grain. Your project file should include the single wedge as one block and the full design that wedge would make as a another block.
You may create a block or a motif (a block without a block outline).
Also include a quilt that uses your Hawaiian appliqué block. Your design does not have to use Hawaiian figures, only the appliqué style.

Linda Dawson
Porcupine Star

This design used straight lines only and resembles a star, but the lines are not smooth, therefore the reference to the porcupine.

Linda Dawson
Fern Frenzy

The laciness of this design reminded me of ferns frons as they uncurl from the base of the plant.

Linda MacDougall
Hawaiian Rainbow Butterflies

If this were machine appliqued, it would look nice done with black thread to set off the vibrant colors and tie in the black accent borders.

Murrieta, CA

Linda MacDougall
Tequila Sunrise Butterflies

The simple blocks in the corners and the borders are a nice contrast to the curves in the center.

Dragonflies

I've been working on a dragonfly quiltj pattern, and decided to try to design a hawaiian style dragonfly quilt.

Iris with Hearts

The iris are blooming at my house, so I thought I'd see if I could make a hawaiian style iris pattern. The hearts just seemed to fit the space between them.

Maui Turtles

Lynne Chambliss
Sun Kachina

This design is an adaptation of Hopi Sun Kachina dolls and dancers. The symbols used in the squares around the central design are traditional Native American symbols; not necessarily Hopi. The colors chosen stand for turquoise stone and the warmth of the sun.

Tucson, AZ, USA

Mary Allenspach
Guardians

Since I'm not into flowers, I was thinking butterflies. Then thoughts of my new grandchild made me think of angels and the design "flew" in. Layout was On-point Medallion 4. A darker, larger border will shrink the look of the center panel.

Rolling Meadows IL & Winchester WI

Mary Allenspach
Star Crossed Angels

Layout was Star - 1, fire colors make me think of playful angels.

I actually designed this Hawaiian quilt for a Nancy Chong class taught at Quilt University and I designed it using EQ. I have also made this quilt. See a picture of it at www.picturetrail.com/mgrhine under Customer Quilts Spring 2004.

Cat Mantra (Ohm-MEOW!)

Anyone who has seen my previous challenge entries knows that I am extremely fond of cats, and I try to incorporate them into most of my designs. The block in this quilt is an original design that I came up with by playing with some of the cat motifs in the EQ library.

Hawaiian Baltimore Album

The blocks in this quilt were inspired by designs in Elizabeth Root's book "Hawaiian Quilting" (Dover Needlework Series). Once I started drawing these designs, I couldn't stop! Placed as they are on this quilt, I am reminded a bit of a Baltimore Album Quilt.

Miriana
En Flagrente in Camouflage

Each block was drawn in either patchdraw or easy draw. I have had quite a learning curve doing this. I am a total newbie at this kind of block designing. I have seen many hawaiin quilts online and found that they vary quite a bit. So, I thought I would try it this way.

Drawn freehand and using simple shapes in patchdraw and then cloned and rotated.

Flameflowers

I was trying to draw flames at Pentecost, but ended up with something that looked more like a flower! It was fun to do, but in the start I lost a lot of work with the program closing down on me. But now it seems ok.

Bluebirds fly

Hawaiian block of the bluebirds surrounded by a Scherenschnitte frame (see QNM June 04). That is two cutoutblocks!

Hawaiian Rorschach II

This is the second version of my Rorschach block, with some extra reverse applique motifs through the main body of the sections.

Paula Ross
Hawaiian Rorschach

I tried to get a feel for the ocean, with flowing, undulating curves in this block. Made up with reds and yellows it could resemble lava flows. When I was finished I realized it might resemble a Rorschach inkblot test more than the ocean!
