Usually craft/cooking videos are annoying, too slow, bad accents, etc--well this one is good.

How to make a Hawaiian quilt.
All quilters, me excluded--I am an artist, not a quilter, are extra precise, I am not.
I've already cut several motifs and appliqued onto tops.
Note, the motifs are usually VERY BIG, so you can handle the material better.
Mine were about 8 " square as I put on sleeves and the back of the jacket.
Another way is to use part of a motif, on the shoulder, for instance.
I'm damned if I am going to make a big quilt that will be hard to display and sell.
Also it would be too expensive for my senior/junior customers.
Always bear in mind you are competing with clothing imports, while there are more women in the population, most of them aging (USA) and on fixed income.
So I try to keep my prices under $100.
Anyway, give it a try,
Life gets terribly boring.
