CONEK1 Hawaiian Quilt
c.1950
86 x 92 inches
Hawaii
$4,900
This amazingly beautiful Hawaiian quilt was purchased by a family
while in Hawaii. Now, 75 years later, this beauty is up for sale. While
treasured by the family and never used, it is now organically hand washed
and ready to belong to the next person.
All true Hawaiian quilts have the main pattern cut from one piece of
fabric. Many times this means sewing huge pieces of fabric together to
create one large piece of fabric. There are many traditional Hawaiian
Patterns.
Hawaiian quilts are always quilted with an echo design pattern. The echo
quilting resembles the waves in the ocean, so important to the way of
life in Hawaii. All quilting here is 3/4" apart and executed with small
even stitches. The separately applied binding is 1/2" in width and
always matches the color of the main design.
