The Beauty of Hand-Quilted Hawaiian Quilt Bedspreads

By far, our most popular offering is the beautiful Hawaiian quilt bedspreads that are hand quilted with care. Each “Kapa,” which means quilt in Hawaiian, is crafted by master quilters. These artisans are trained in the traditional Hawaiian quilting style.

Every quilt contains over 250,000 stitches, averaging 6 to 8 stitches per inch. Additionally, the design is appliquéd using a hidden or “blind” stitch. This technique is applied onto the background material, which is then quilted with a ripple or echo pattern.

A Variety of Sizes for Every Need

We offer quilts in all sizes: Single, Twin, Full, Queen, and King. Each quilt is accompanied by matching pillow shams. Currently, our in-stock sizes include Queen and King, which measure approximately 108″x108″. However, any size can be hand quilted for you.

To take your measurements, simply measure from the head of the bed to the foot. This measurement will provide the length you desire. Next, measure side to side to determine the width. Make sure to allow for the amount of hang you would like on each side. Based on your measurements, a custom quilt can be created at no extra charge!

Satisfaction Guaranteed

You will receive our personal guarantee that any quilt ordered will meet your satisfaction in both color and size. If the quilt does not meet your expectations, it can be returned within 7 days in its original condition. We are committed to ensuring that you receive exactly what you desire, or a full refund will be issued.

In conclusion, we believe that once these beautiful quilts are seen on your bed, you will want to cherish them for generations to come.

The Timeless Tradition of Hawaiian Quilts: A Legacy of Art and Craftsmanship

Hawaiian quilting holds a special place in Hawaii. It weaves itself deeply into the island’s culture and history. New England missionaries introduced quilting many years ago. The Hawaiian people embraced this art form and developed their own unique style. Today, this intricate style stands out in the quilting world.

The Art of Hawaiian Quilt Design

Tradition tells us that Hawaiian quilters designed their quilts by tracing the shadows of trees and flowers at sunset. They laid fabric beneath these natural shapes. This process allowed them to capture the organic beauty of the island’s flora. Next, quilters traced these patterns onto the material. In doing so, they preserved the essence of Hawaii’s landscape in every stitch.

Moreover, quilt patterns represented more than just art; they became treasured pieces. Neighbors often “borrowed” each other’s designs as they hung them on clotheslines to dry. To protect their work, quilters guarded new designs closely. They kept these designs secret until they completed the quilt. Only then could they claim ownership of the pattern.

Over time, friends and fellow quilters began to share and modify patterns. This practice fostered a sense of community while keeping the distinctiveness of Hawaiian quilting alive.
