Description
The Amish are not quick to change, that is an obvious fact, and it is this single characteristic that has given us a quilting tradition that has endured for generations. An authentic Amish quilt will be constructed using only plain fabrics, that is to say, no prints, stripes or plaids. The colors are representative of naturally occurring hues in a variety of muted shades--blues for the sky, browns for the earth, greens for the vegetation. Since old-order Amish have no electric, tops are machine pieced on treadle sewing machines and hand quilted.
This quilt measures 88" x 104"
