Na Pua Ui O Hawaii – The Beautiful Flowers of Hawaii

Posted on August 10, 2014July 7, 2023 by Cissy

Floral GardenTraditionally you never drew a Hawaiian Quilt pattern with more than one type of flower or plant in the design.  Like Mealii Kalama, one of Hawaii’s most renown quilter and designer said,” God never intended for two types of flowers to grow from the same root”.  But John being kolohe(rascal) told Mealii that it’s okay for him to design many flowers on one quilt because he was of mixed race. (Half Hawaiian/Half Portuguese) .  Thus, the old tradition while important John sometimes designs quilts that brings together many flowers and plants to be displayed on one quilt. This quilt is not for the beginner and will challenge any quilter BUT when complete it will be a show stopper.

Pattern:  90″x 90″ Designed by John Serrao (Personal Design)
