While in Kauai in May we stopped at two quilt shops and I went crazy with all the beautiful Hawaiian fabrics I was seeing and couldn't leave the island without buying some material and a few patterns.
The Post Card Quilt pattern is so simple and easy to sew and I loved putting all the fabric together. You can make this quilt with any fabric you might have left over from a previous quilt.
The more colorful the better I think. Anyways come on in to our front room and see the finished Post Card Quilt.
I really like all the studding around the trunk.
I also put a sea shell neck less that just fit perfectly around the lamp shade for a little bit of whimsy!.
May the new week bring you peace in your heart and a smile to your face.

Ahhh, beautiful quilt!! It makes a great memory! I am just getting back to the sewing machine after a 5 week hiatus....I fell and broke my left ankle and right wrist. Can you believe it!!!! So I got my cast off last week and am exercising my wrist...it is finally loose enough to sew a bit. Whoopee!!
It makes a stunning quilt! What a great way to showcase special fabrics.
The quilt is just beautiful. I love the trunk. I love the look of trunks in a room.
Dearest Elizabeth and Gary,
You did kind of bring Hawaii home with you. That was quite a task to make that quilt but it is lovely.
The trunk is indeed practical and great looking. You mean you pull out that drawer with those two handles? That is very smart, otherwise you always had to take things off the top to open it up.
Have a great new week and sending you love,
Mariette
I love your quilt!! and love how you put all those beautiful fabrics together!!
Oh my goodness gracious. That is one gorgeous quilt...I just am in awe of people who can quilt...not a gift the Lord gave me...but I do enjoy them...you did a beautiful job!!
Oh, is it too late for a piece of the strawberry banana bread??? Yah, I figured it was all gone!! It looked yummy!!
I love quilts. Yours is fabulous with the tropical prints framed in white. The trunk table is fun too!
Your front room looks so well put together that it looks like a page from a magazine that I would enjoy. The trunk is gorgeous but oh my, the quilt is beautiful! You obviously are a patient, talented person. ---------Shannon

Hi Elizabeth!
OH MY GOSH........your quilt is just tooooo yummy. I love it. Someday I'm going to have some time to quilt. :-) I have to actually USE some of this fabric stash. :-) We were in Hawaii in May too!.... Oahu, however. My Hubby is from there so we were visiting family. Have you done the Hawaiian applique quilts too? My mother-in-law bought me a kit many years ago.........still haven't done it. Like I said.......someday.
Love your new trunk too. Just perfect in your beautiful room.
Have a great week!

Your quilt is amazing. The quilting pattern really accents all those great fabrics!
Your quilt is fabulous! I could make a Florida quilt...we have so many bright and colorful prints here, too. I get so many ideas but I have never tried to make a quilt...yet! I love your idea for the necklace around the lampshade! I could do that! heehee! And the seashell wreaths are breathtaking! Hugs!
Elizabeth your Hawaiian quilt is out of this world. 35 different fabrics? Wow. You have been busy! I love the Hibiscus quilt design. I like the trunk too. Looks really nice. I hope your having a nice summer.
Such beautiful colors!
Elizabeth,
Your quilt is so beautiful! I love the white combined with the colorful fabrics. It just looks so pretty! I used to love quilting but I need a new machine...it's a hobby I really miss.
Your home is so pretty and inviting. I love your striped rug and your new trunk. I'm looking for something like that for our son, who will be moving into his first home in a couple of months.
Hugs,
Mary
What a beautiful quilt. Great job.

Aloha Ms. Elizabeth,
Your quilt is beautiful, so bright, colorful and happy. And that trunk is absolutely perfect. You guys did good :-) Hope you are having a wonderful day my friend.
Hugs and Kisses,

Your Hawaii quilt is just stunning! When we visited Hawaii many years ago I bought a beautiful piece of fabric too. Your front room is just lovely. May I ask where you purchased that red striped rug? I love it.
I guess I didn't know what a postcard quilt was. What a beautiful way to showcase all those beautiful hawaiian prints. And your quilter did a fantastic job. How great to have the memories of your trip to look at in your pretty living room. Yes, bindings are time consuming, but as you did, I always handwork as an excuse to watch some old movies.
Wonderful trunk too. Love a piece that serves two functions.
Hi Elizabeth!
What a lovely remembrance of you visit to Hawaii! I love all those patterns and colors.
The fact that you made this makes is even more of a treasure!
Thanks for sharing at my party :)

Great collection of Hawaiian fabrics! The quilting is fabulous -- your quilter has a real talent. The coffee table chest is a perfect addition to your room.
