A Lovely Surprise

My friend, Elizabeth, who is part of our Thursday morning stitching group, has just recently returned from a lovely holiday in Hawaii, where she and her husband spent some time in Honolulu and then 7 days cruising the islands, and back to Honolulu for a few more days before flying home.

She surprised all of us with a fat quarter of hawaiian fabric and a big pile of 3" charm squares each.



So this is my fabric, isn't it gorgeous?  I thought I might make a small wall quilt using the charm sqaures in a nine patch and the fat quarter to sash them and to bind. 

Do you think that will be a good idea?  Or do you have any other ideas for me? Please? Thanks.

We are so lucky to have received such a lovely gift aren't we. Can't wait to start something soon.
