{"product_id":"creating-hawaiian-inspired-quilts-9780764348587","title":"Creating Hawaiian-Inspired Quilts","description":"Early 19th-century Hawaiian women created quilts using bright, solid-colored fabric. They would fold a large piece of fabric into quarters or eighths and cut flowing motifs symbolic of their lush environment. The practice of using a single piece of solid-color fabric hand-appliqu d onto a white background became their tradition-- a tradition that both inspired and stimulated the author when creating her own designs. With 26 patterns to get you started and easy-to-follow directions, learn to cut and stitch both hand- and machine-appliqu d blocks. Projects include \"Hawaiian Seas\" wall quilts, \"Hawaiian Christmas\" with four blocks, and various flowers and sea creatures. The designs begin with single color, appliqu d blocks and progress to blocks adorned with additional colors and motifs. Quilters of all skill levels will discover a beautiful Hawaiian quilt to inspire them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJudith Sandstrom has been designing quilts and fabric textiles for the past 20 years.
