Kuuipo -

Is the name I've given my Memory Quilt - ;))

According to one online Hawaiian word dictionary - HERE -

kuuipo
noun
sweetheart. often used on jewelry–especially the hawaiian bracelets worn by wahine.

And another one - HERE -

ku'uipo
a native Hawaiian word for "sweetheart" or
"lover". seen on gold jewelry in Hawaii.
I'm going to ask my ku'uipo to marry me at Rainbow's!

And - just because I can't say Kuuipo without thinking of Blue Hawaii -

Here's a video clip from Blue Hawaii with Elvis singing - K-u-u-i-p-o -

I have 114 Hearts for Kuuipo -

I've been collecting them for years -

Never could decide what to do with them - ;))

Do I want them all in one quilt? -

Do I want to split them up into smaller quilts -

And/or try to make one for each of the three grandsons? -

Straight set or on-point? -

Same or alternating directions? -

Alternate blocks or not? -

So many questions and decisions to make = too much thinking involved - LOL - ;))

So I didn't think about it that much -

I just kept making them -

Until -

I finished this last batch -

And actually COUNTED them!! -
