Hawaiian Quilting

Hawaiian quilting is a traditional craft that originated in Hawaii, characterized by its unique appliqué technique. It involves cutting out bold, symmetrical patterns from fabric, often inspired by nature, such as leaves, flowers, and animals. These cutouts are sewn onto a contrasting background fabric, creating vibrant and intricate designs. Hawaiian quilts are typically made with a patchwork style, featuring a layered design that reflects both cultural heritage and artistic expression. This technique not only serves as a functional art form but also embodies the spirit and stories of Hawaiian culture.
