    Ohh here we go, I was just at your other quilting lens and made comment about Hawaiian quilts. So nice to see them featured! ALOHA ... and angel blessed!

    Charming! They have such an appearance of structure, a firmness of pattern, that belies their stuffing inside.

    I've always enjoyed looking at Hawaiian quilts but never took the plunge into starting one. Lovely photos, blessed by the Quilting Neighborhood Squidoo Angel.

    Cool lens. I love quilting and recently read a book where they were doing Hawaiian quilting. Didn't know what it was really... :) Now I do!

    Nice lens! I have relatives in Hawaiian (who are part Hawaiian--hapa and hapa hapa)... they have lots of Hawaiian quilts in their homes. Definitely thumbs-upped, favorited, liked, and lensrolled (to my lens Hawaii Vacation Tips. Now you have me wondering about the quilts we have in our home.

    I have loved Hawaiian Quilt designs ever since I saw a PBS special about them a long time ago - but I really enjoyed learning the back story you've presented here - the Hawaiian customs associated with the quilting was fascinating to me. Very nice!

    Fantastic lens on Hawaiian quilts! That anthurium quilt is particularly spectacular. I would love to own one of these, but I can't imagine ever being able to create one myself.

    We saw some beautiful Hawaiian quilts when we were there. This page is beautiful, too.

    What a fascinating history. I had no idea Hawaiian quilting was so different from the traditional pieced quilting my grandmother used to do. And the customs and superstitions are so interesting, especially about why you never create human figures... I'll share this lens with my daughter-in-law as she is now the 'quilter' in the family.
