Many people wonder how the Hawaiians came up with their beautiful floral designs.  Some say they found it in the shadows.

Traditionally, quilters used the echo style of quilting on their quilts.  Today many of the quilters prefer to use the definitive style of quilting on their design. Definitive quilting is making your Hawaiian quilt design look like the actual flower or object.  Here are some wonderful examples of definitive quilting.  Click on the picture for a closer view.
