The Hawaiian Quilt: A Spiritual Experience

Poakalani & John Serrao

Hawaiian quilting is its own distinct appliqué tradition — a single large, symmetrical, cut-paper-style design appliquéd in one color onto a solid background, often carrying personal or spiritual meaning for the maker. Poakalani and John Serrao, both respected teachers within the Hawaiian quilting community, cover the tradition's technique, symbolism, and cultural context together rather than treating it as just another appliqué style.
