====Hawaiian quilting====
"[[Hawaiian quilt]]ing was well established by the beginning of the twentieth century. Hawaiian women learned to quilt from the wives of missionaries from New England in the 1820s. Though they learned both pieced work and applique, by the 1870s they had adapted applique techniques to create a uniquely Hawaiian mode of expression. The classic Hawaiian quilt design is a large, bold, curvilinear appliqué pattern that covers much of the surface of the quilt, with the symmetrical design cut from only one piece of fabric."<ref>{{cite book|chapter=Quilts|year=2003|title=The Encyclopedia of American Folk Art|url=http://www.credoreference.com/entry/routfolkart/quilts|isbn=978-0203644485|publisher=Florence Taylor and Francis |location=Ann Arbor, Michigan }}</ref>
