See "Tropical Vacation" by Amy Allen

Spring Paducah 2019

We think we would need a vacation after completing this appliqué beauty by Amy Allen of Honaunau, HI. Tropical Vacation was created with machine appliqué, beading, free-motion quilting, freestyle piecing, hand piecing, improvisational piecing, machine piecing, and trapunto, and more...whew! It measures 94" x 94" and was exhibited at AQS QuiltWeek Spring Paducah 2019.

We love the color palette and great use of kaleidoscope fabric. And did we mention the scalloped border and amazing quilting?

Border work has become a trend that adds so much to any quilt, making it a stand out. This quilt is all around amazing! Would have liked to have known more about it, longarm or domestic (?) for example. Wonderfully different.

Beautiful quilt. Could someone clarify what the difference is between freestyle piecing and improvisational piecing?

Wow this quilt is beautiful in so many ways! I love how she was able to incorporate so many different technical
skills and still have such a wonderful flow. Great job.
