Item Description

Hawaiian quilting history has deep cultural roots of the islands. Before the missionaries arrived, Hawaiian quilts were made of a fabric called kapa, which was pounded from the bark of the wauke (paperbark or mulberry) tree. They dyed the barkcloth and decorated it with geometric block prints to use for bedding and festive clothing. The people of old guarded this tradition, by passing down the Hawaiian designs and patterns to younger quilters. Fortunately, today the art form has come out from behind closed doors, allowing everyone to celebrate the Hawaiian quilting history.

Cloth made from pounded bark. 94” x 138”. Some minor damage (see pics).
