Work in Progress: Huhu wela loa a ula

I'm hand quilting this baby right now. The applique took a millionty-billion years, and the hand quilting part is going to take a billionty-trillion. I'm really enjoying the hand quilting part, though - it's like knitting in its repetitiveness, in the muscles learning how to do it. My muscles like it.

Right now this one is (of course) in its quilt sandwich, and the top is white and the batting is white and the backing is an unbleached cotton muslin, so the edges of the sandwich look like the skirt of some kind of 1980s punk-rock girl. The image is a lovely contrast to what the quilt actually looks like.
