Thanks, it looks like it would be one piece but I wasn't sure. Recently, at our quilt guild we did a 12 inch square. The demonstrator said we had to cut off the section just before we were ready to needle turn applique. I see how that would be especially important for you on this one. So glad you showed this work of art to us. We are lucky to see it.
It is one piece. Remember the paper snowflakes we learned how to make in grade school? That's how the applique' is done - folded in eighths and then cut through all 8 layers at once.

I just finished listening to Jennifer Chiaverini's book "The Aloha Quilt." I learned a lot from that book, both in the quilting end and also the history of the "Queen's Quilt". That is a gorgeous quilt. Also the scenery is described as absolutely awe-some, some of the food sounded delicious, Pineapple Pecan muffins. Anyhow, it is giving me the idea of doing a Hawaiian style quilt. Yours was gorgeous, too! Edie
