"Ulu", Hawaiian pattern

I started quilting the "Ulu" Hawaiian small quilt (58 cm x 58 cm/ 22.5'' x 22.5''). It's my first time doing echo-quilting. I posted the beginning of the process on June 12, 2020. (http://patriciavalentini.blogspot.com/2020/06/ulu-hawaiian-pattern.html)

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.

Postage Stamps Quilt

Postage Stamps Quilt: I tried quilting and it worked, but I found it had too much information (so many fabrics, colors, and printing). So I finally decided to tie it (DMC #8 thread, 2 strands).

Amish Squares, non-dominant-hand quilt

January 2020

The top of the "Postage Stamps" quilt is almost finished, so I'm back to the "Amish Squares" top. I thought I'd start from the center and make a "spiral" to the right, taking the pairs of squares at random.

Finally, I made rows. I pinned on the foam board; then I took some pictures to have the light and dark colors in balance.
Ready to start sewing the rows!

Janvier 2020

Le haut du quilt "Timbres Poste" est presque terminé, alors, je reprends le top "Amish Squares". Je pensais commencer à partir du centre et faire une «spirale» vers la droite, en prenant les paires de carrés au hasard.

Finalement, j’ai fait des rangées. J’ai épinglé sur la planche en mousse, puis j’ai pris quelques photos pour avoir les couleurs claires et sombres en équilibre.
Prêt à commencer à coudre les rangs!
