Overview

Recognized the world over for their bright colors and bold graphic designs, Hawaiian applique quilts reflect the lush subtropical flora of the islands where they were born. The book provides an extensive overview of Hawaiian quilting from its beginning as an art form in the 1870s to the present day. The book includes twenty-two quilts created by three influential master quilters and thirty contemporary quilts by six highly respected modern quilters that reflect a new range in styles and techniques, from traditional to trend setting, being explored by island quilters today. This bilingual publication, English and Japanese, visually explores a vibrant and ongoing cultural treasure of Hawai'i. These quilts demonstrate both the rich tradition of this textile art and its continuing strength in the realm of contemporary art.
