Hawaiian Quilt is a tradition very special here in Hawaii, introduced many years ago by the New England Missionaries. The Hawaiian people embraced quilting and started what has become some of the most intricate quilting known today. Tradition has it that as the sun sets overs a tree or flower the quilter would lay down her fabric to capture the shadow of the tree or plant design. She would then trace the design on the material.
Neighbors would steal each others’ designs as they hung the patterns on their clothes lines. New designs were jealously guarded and kept secret until the quilt was finished and the owner of the new design could not be disputed. Patterns are often shared and modified amongst friends and quilt enthusiasts.
