Hawaiian
quilts, dating back to the influence of nineteenth-century missionaries, are more
than objects of practical necessity. A form of artistic expression, they beautifully
reflect not only the spirit of a people but their culture and environment as well.
For this modestly priced sourcebook, noted needlework designter Elizabeth Root offers 20 Hawaiian quilt blocks. Unique in construction-- and typical of Hawaiin quilt motifs-- the designs are cut in one piece and appliqued to a constrasting color background fabric. In this delightful collection, the designs for the 18-inch squares are named after the lush and exatic island vegetation that inspired them: see Table of Contents for names.
Blocks are worked in very bright colors-- blue on green, red on yellow, green on white--but of course, quilters may select colors of their own choice.
The introduction provides fascinating background information about the origins and composition of Hawaiian quilts. Full-size patterns, an abundance of illustrations and detailed, step-by step instructions make it easy for even beginning quilters to recreate visually delightful Hawaiin treasures.
