The category "Hawaiian quilt" probably conjures up the well-known style of quilt developed in Hawaii. These quilts use two large pieces of solid-color fabric. One piece is folded like a paper snowflake, cut in an intricate botanical pattern, carefully unfolded onto the base fabric, and appliquéd down. Then, it is quilted in parallel lines that echo the shapes of the appliqué.
This quilt was made in Hawaii, as the machine embroidered label tells us, but varies from this famous design style.
