This book has everything you need to know to make your first Hawaiian quilt - history, Hawaiian terminology, techniques from start to finish, and gorgeous patterns to choose from. Hawaiian quilts are a unique quilting tradition; appliques based on island nature, cut using a snowflake folding method and generally quilted with radiating "echo" lines. Books on this technique are few and far between, and this one is excellent. Aloha and happy quilting!

This book is well written. Vicky Fleming tells us about the history of Hawaiian quilting. The rules, Hawaiian words and phrases, colors and symbols of Hawaiian quilting. She tells us how to plan a quilt and how to applique and how to quilt it. There are many patterns to choose from. I'd like to make them all. I highly recommend this book.

Looking for a quick reference on Hawaiian applique and quilting? This book is perfect, as well as providing background history of Hawaiian quilting and the traditions connected with Hawaii. Beautiful illustrations enliven this valuable resource.

This book has very clear and easy directions and patterns for making Hawaiian or appliqued quilts. Well written and lots of ideas for projects large and small.

Vicky Fleming's book is excellent!! I live on Kauai and have shared this book with several of the Hawaiian ladies that taught me to do Hawaiian quilting, they love it!! Would love to see more from Ms. Fleming.

I am in the process of sewing the applique onto
a pillow front. The book is very interesting and
informative. Hawaiian appliques are not for the
faint of heart but so much fun to do.

Great book for beginning and accomplished needleworkers. History of hawaiian applique and background information interesting from a spiritual standpoint and very helpful in deciding which pattern to select. Already working on first applique; it was so simple to setup and cut, and nearly perfect in execution!

Havent done anything yet from this book but I will use it, either for the designs or just add information. This is quit a technique.
