Hawaiian Quilt Patterns
Hawaiian Quilt patterns are admired by most, however very few women know how to make a Hawaiian quilt. The Hawaiian Quilt is very different to most traditional and typical quilts and its design whilst may appear simple is often difficult to duplicate.
Most Hawaiian Quilt designs include bright flowers (or black flowers) and a strong contrasting background. There are usually only a few colors in each block keeping the quilt clear and simple. The designs embrace the flora and fauna of the Hawaiian people as well as tie in the traditions and cultures of their past present and future.
