| scrap quilt from Honolulu, c. 1975-2017 |
Here's another one of the finished quilt tops from Hawaii. Gail Weiss did a nice job finishing this one. We looked at the bindings on some other quilts, and found good inspiration.

One quilt in particular, a Broken Dishes with a wide floral print binding was the inspiration for the binding on the top.

The binding was made with fabric applied to the front and machine stitched. Unlike a lot of bindings, it was not wrapped around to the back.

| great job Gail, you nailed it! |
Gail nailed it. The maker of the top would be proud of the finish. It was relatively quick and painless, but specific. I like this type of work to be in keeping with the period and style of quilt, and I like to include the finish date and person who finished it.
Worth the effort to finish, it is an eye-popping piece with lots of bold Hawaiian fabrics. Here are a few of them.
There are two more tops from the group, and I will photograph them at some point during the week, so stay tuned...
