My art quilt group, Maui Art Quilters, is preparing for a special exhibit at PIQF in 2010. Rather than make a signature quilt where everyone works on part, we are each making individual lei to hang together. The vision was that the finished quilt would be reminiscent of the lei stands you see (although, sadly, less frequently) here in Hawaii.After a couple of false starts with another idea, I decided to create my lei using a version of the "lokelani" or Maui rose.
I finally finished mine, which was due last week. I just couldn't seem to find a chunk of time to work on it, but last weekend my time opened up. Here is a close up of the finished piece:
The rest of the lei from the group are really stunning. For a preview, visit the MAQs blog HERE.

Having seen a lei stand in Maui I understand completely what your group is creating and it is beautiful and very original! You lei is striking!
They are all lovely ( on the other site ) but yours colour wise is spectacular.
Gorgeous, Dianna! You're amazing! Mine still isn't done! Bev
I love the colors against the black and it's beautiful.
