Naupaka – The legend of the Naupaka speaks about love lost. One version tells the story of two lovers kept apart because they came from different social classes. One was banished to the mountain and the other to the sea. Unable to live apart they both died from broken hearts. Upon their graves grew the Naupaka, half flowers found near the ocean and the other in the mountains. 90″ x 90″Designed by John Serrao
The Naupaka is one of John’s favorite designs but on his quilts the legend continues where the lovers meet again and lives happily every after. The flowers are designed close together reuniting in love.
