I just finished quilting this too stinkin’ cute, Hawaiian Gnome quilt for my customer. The pattern is based on the pattern, A Tale of Two Gnomes, by Cotton Street Commons. As you can see, my customer used Hawaiian prints for the Gnome hats and switched the pine trees from the original pattern to coconut trees to continue the island “vibe.”

The quilt is 59 x 70 inches. I used assorted high sheen poly threads and Warm & White batting.
My customer made this quilt for her nephew and his family who live in Hawaii. The quilt will be hand delivered when a friend of my customer visits Hawaii in a few weeks.
Here are some photos of the blocks. The blocks are a combination of piecing and hand applique.
There was a fair amount of border area so I kept the quilting simple and did wavy lines to represent water. Where the block borders “overlapped” I also overlapped the horizontal and vertical wavy lines. These overlapping lines look like “fish nets” which, IMHO, enhances the island vibe!
My customer has picked up the quilt and LOVES it!!! She can’t wait for her nephew and his family to see it!
This quilt was WAY too much fun!!!
