Ulu, Hawaiian pattern.

I decided to try a new style and a Hawaiian applique quilt is a challenge for me. I'm not really good at applique, so I'll try with a small pattern.
I started reading about traditional Hawaiian quilts, and this is the first pattern a beginner has to start with: Ulu, or Breadfruit.

I did a little research, and finally, I made a drawing inspired by Pinterest pattern pictures and the real tree pictures.

“Amish Squares”

“Amish Squares”. Left Hand Quilt (started in September 2019)

I finished the top yesterday (11/6/2020), found the backing in my stash box, and decided to make the old way binding: bringing the back to the top. Now, it's in line for hand quilting. 

It's about 38” x 29”
