With vivid colors and breathtaking designs, the Hawaiian quilt captures the exotic beauty of the Islands and celebrates Hawaiian culture. Made with aloha and given as a symbol of love, most Hawaiian quilt designs are abstract renditions of Hawai‘i’s stunning tropical foliage. While the flowers that inspired the design may only last a few hours, the quilt is a tangible reminder of the aloha with which it was made.

This review is from: Contemporary Hawaiian Quilting (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book to inspire your quilter's creativity, you've found it. The many illustrations of unique quilts inspired by the native Hawaiians' original quilt style are colorful, vibrant, and unique.
If you are looking for a step-by-step instruction guide, this is not for you. I found this book to be a wonderful display of innovative accomplishment.
