SUMMARY- There is some interesting history given here. The main lesson I took away from this book for making Hawaiian quilting easy is, don't make big quilts - stick to pillow and potholders. That isn't entirely true here. What I like about it is that it focuses on showing you can develop your own patterns - you don't need the handful from the book. I think this is the root of Hawaiian quilting. Hawaiian quilters expect you to follow your own muse and use the designs that are in your own heart. I like that very much.
