Hawaiian Quilt Designs
The Back Story:
A Reflection Of Nature
An intimate personal and spiritual relationship with the natural world lies at the heart of the Hawaiian quilt and is key to understanding their designs’ subtle and often deeply hidden symbolic meanings.
As you can see from this quilt design, Hawaiian quilters do not attempt to depict nature realistically. Instead they create designs that recall natural forms and, in so doing, embody and elicit their inherent spirituality. The pattern is a symbol of the plant, not the plant itself. A pattern is a picture of the essence of an object, an object’s very life; its beauty is of that life.
