Churches are Everywhere
Four different 3-fold 8 layer applique motifs layered to create
this quilt. The churches, palms, firs, and squares, layered and rotated
in different combinations. Palms for the tropics and firs for the northern
and southern lands.

Four Churches on a Hilll
This quilt is a cheat as the folded segments have been split into
patches, then cloned , flipped and rotated and then coloured separately,
but it does seem to add something to the limitations of one colour per
'hawaiian' applique.

Fancy Oaks
Once this was duplicated and rotated it looked kind of like oak leaves to me. I don't think I'd ever try to stitch it, though, as some of those curves are a little sharp :D

Flights of Fancy
This reminds me of space ships going out to the corners and balloons in the centers. I'd be far more likely to actually try this one.

Hawaiian Jewels
Free hand drew 1/8th of pattern in PatchDraw, cloned and joined
nodes to form block then set on point 25 color variations.
"Background" is made up of rows of same colored blocks in
batik fabrics which provide additional variations of color.

Sankofa in Lace - Purple©
This is one half of a West African Wisdom Symbol that I saw on a door at a friend's house and asked if I could trace it.
The symbol means "return and get it" = learn from the past.
To see something really cool. While pointing at the quilt click your right mouse button and remove the check mark from "outlined patches".

I was very pleased with the impression of swirling dust in the center of the Kickn' Up Her Heels block used in this quilt.

Orchids and Lillies
Although most Hawaiian style applique blocks are all one color, I decided to try creating this one with some additional colors. After the 1/8th block was drawn, I had to break the nodes at the base of the flowers and create closed flower units and closed stem units. Then I cloned, flipped, and rotated sections as usual.
SJ Christner
David's Monstera
This plant is common in Hawaii, some sort of overgrown (!) cutleaf
philodendron.
I made this block up just because the plant's graphic quality appealed to me. My son (there in the Marine Corp) asked my to make a quilt with blocks of it. Did it by hand when I was there, 2 days sitting in the Hawaii sun per block. His was done all in green/red-green batiks on a greeny-goldy Fossil Ferns background. Alternate blocks were quilted with the same leaf design.
I've altered the quarter pattern to use as a cutting pattern; see note there.

I didn't have much success trying to draw "real" things so I just messed around with patchdraw shapes.

Again I used simple shapes and was amazed at how successful even the most basic designs turned out.

"na lokelani mai ko'u makua kane i kona mala pua"
"Roses From My Father's Garden"
This is my first experience using PatchDraw and I had some difficulty with coloring my 1/8th design but was able to clone it into a full block design which I was able to color.
Since it is a Hawaiian-style quilt, I wanted to follow tradition and give it a Hawaiian name. Thanks to my cousin Mark who lives in Honolulu, and who provided the translation, I was able to give it a proper name.

Christmas in Hawaii
This is a fun design in that one part of the appliqued block looks
like Christmas trees, while the other reminds me of some type of "sea
creature" or a dancer with a fancy, fruity head-dress!
I tried it in a
few different colorways, but this one is my favorite, as it reminds
me of the Hawaiian volcanoes.

Seascape
This quilt reminds me of ocean water and sand on the beach. The
center square is almost like looking in to a hole filled with beautiful
blue sea water!
