Patching And Sewing Were Part Of The Domestic Duties Taught To Young Hawaiian Girls By The Early Missionary Women Who Came To Hawai'I. Working With Supple Cotton Cloth Was A New Experience For The People Accustomed To Pounding Their Kapa For Clothing. What Started As Sewing Small Patches Onto A Blank Fabric Background Soon Changed Into A Creative, Artistic, And Cultural Expression. The Hawaiian Women Took Large Sheets Of Material, Folded Them Into Equal Parts, And Cut Their Designs. They Took Elements From Their Religion, Their Legends, Or The Islands' Natural Beauty And Incorporated Them Into An Appliqued Overlay On The Quilt. As Their Culture And Traditions Were Being Stripped Away And Replaced With Western Lifestyles, These Women Sat In Sewing Circles And Stitched The Fabric Of Their History Into The Delicate Patterns Of The Hawaiian Quilt.
