The climate of Hawaii is unsuitable for cotton cultivation and kapa is unsuitable for quilting so all Hawaiian quilts are constructed from imported material.

    Crazy Quilt also known as Indian Carpet and Japanese Rug is a solitaire card game using two decks of 52 playing card s each. The game is so called because the reserve resembles the weave s of a carpet or an arrangement of a quilt .

MAQS also develops temporary exhibitions and exhibitions that travel to other galleries and museums, helping educate and inspire a wider spectrum of viewers. The museum was honored in May 2008 when the U.S. Congress designated it The National Quilt Museum of the United States. May Louise Zumwalt, Executive Director of the Museum, said recently Though it does not mean we will receive national funding, it does recognize that we are a quilt museum with national significance. This designation brings additional attention and helps increase the number of visitors. The Museum currently averages 40,000 visitors per year from across the country and at least 25 foreign countries.
