The Hawaiian Quilt [Paperback] Review

This book includes a great variety of patterns in various sizes--pillow, wall hanging and larger quilt sizes.There are also a great number of pictures and many have patterns in the back.I have not made any of the patterns in this book however I have made about 15-18 designs from other Poakalani books am still comfortable giving this book a great review.If you've read other books by Poakalani than you will be familiar with her background and techniques offered for this style of quilting.This book does go further into depth about Hawaiian quilting and shows a much wider variety of Hawaiian quilts/patterns than other Poakalani books--this book will add to your Hawaiian quilt pattern collection and knowledge/foundation.The patterns range from beginner level to advanced-intermediate.I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys applique.I would love to see Poakalani or another Hawaiian quilt artist write a book about how to design my own Hawaiian quilt design.
