Vintage Hawaiian Quilt: What Can We Learn From This Old Quilt?

🌺 This Vintage Hawaiian Quilt Is Amazing! 🌺

In this episode of Lessons from an Old Quilt, we will take a look at this incredible antique Hawaiian two-color quilt. The hand appliqué and hand-quilting is inspiring! You'll want to make a Hawaiian quilt after seeing this beauty!

I have to admit that I didn’t know much about Hawaiian quilts prior to making this video and writing the blog post. Reading about these quilts and their history has been so rewarding. All of these old quilts teach me so much, and this one is no exception. Between the stunning appliqué, the two-colors, and the delicate hand-quilting, you can’t help but be inspired by this quilt.

Being from Hawai'i, I was always fascinated with Hawaiian quilts and loved them. The fact that more often than not everything is hand sewn/quilted is amazing. Each design usually depicts a flower, fruit or tree and there are so many! Beautiful find!

Wow! I’ve been looking at Hawaiian quilts. This is such a fabulous example. You made a great buy!

[angieallen]

Don't you wish the quilts you have found each had a label? So glad you are adding that info. This is such a lovely example of Hawaiian quilting. If you would like to read a nice novel with this style of quilting, check out "The Aloha Quilt" by Jennifer Chiaverini. Lots of great info about the traditions that go into Hawaiian quilting while telling a great story. Thanks, again, for great content, Kris!

What a very beautiful and sweet quilt. So glad you are adding the maker's information to the label.

I LOVE THE QUILT. THE QUILTING, THE COLOR, MY FAVORITE. YES ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!!!! i'm so escited to see it. I would have paid $200.

[colleenmckinlay]

That quilt is a stunner. What a treasure and I would have paid that price for sure. Worth every penny. The hours of dedicated work that went into all that hand stitching is truly amazing. Love it!!

Oh my goodness--just lovely! My fav parts: excellent hand quilting (way outta my league), adorable gingham binding, and delicious soft blush backing. All wonderful. As for the pieced binding, perfectly fine, and even kind of special. When i see these little idiosyncrasies, iknow this is handmade by an individual maker, and very likely real vintage.

There are a lot of imported quilts for sale made to look just like real antique/ vintage quilts. And I have no problem with these imported repros, but I like my vintage quilts to be real old time travelers. So I LOVE details like pieced backings and other little idiosyncrasies.

Thank you, Kris, for sharing. May this darling old quilt stay with you for decades to come!
