BOOKS ABOUT AMISH QUILTS (or a world of stunning colors)

I pick up good quality Books About Amish Quilts (or a world of stunning beauty) when I have the chance. Here are some from my personal collection.

Even if there are no patterns – there are wonderful photos and ideas for the next quilt.

I love the contrast of colors on traditional Amish quilts – especially those from Lancaster County, PA.

The immense amount of hand quilting that goes into them is simply amazing. I think these quilts were the start of my inspiration for doing, and loving the look and feel of hand quilting.

In my head I start thinking about what fabrics in my own stash. Would any lend themselves to making a quilt in the bright and bold patterns of the Amish community?

When I can get to Amish communities, I go to local stores. The quilts are always inspiring.

The Amish store two hours south of me has wonderful fabrics, both solid and prints. The prices are good and the selection is wonderful.

If you get a chance to see Amish quilts (especially antique ones) and/or visit an Amish dry goods shop do so. Slow down and relax. Enjoy the chance to do something different and see another kind of quilt.
