Summary: Incredible compilation and collaboration
Comment: I am Hawaiian, and was so surprised to see this book also printed in Japanese. Surprised and extreemly pleased as the collection is one of the best published. It is difficult for non-residents to understand just how difficult it can be to get any information about Hawaiian quilts, as families frequently are reluctant to be specific to "outsiders". This inhibition has relaxed over time, and the addition of the modern quilts, the inclusion of the biographies is especially wonderful, as some of these women are known to myself.The colours in the photography and the details included make this book a must have for anyone interested in this art form. It was in 1979 that my Mother-in-law took me to the American Art Museum in NY City, and we were thrilled at the exhibit. I had not since then seen such a collection of Hawaiian quilts displayed to such advantage. I only wish this was available in an hardbound edition, as mine is getting somewhat dogeard, much to my dismay, but also my delight, as my children are picking the one's they want.
