These beautiful examples of Hawaiian quilting are from the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu. Back in college, I made a pillow using this applique technique for a "GEOLOGY of Hawaii" class. For a geology class??? I know. Makes no sense. It was the 70s, what can I say... I don't know what became of my yellow orange/orange pillow that had nothing to do lava, volcanoes, or island formation.
