A beautiful and blue Dresden Plate Amish quilt

This Dresden Plate Amish quilt in blue fabrics has a lot of extras! First, the pattern: It became popular in the depression era of the 20th century as a way for quilters to create quilts out of fabric scraps. The plates are lovely and this quilt features two extra plates that will cover the pillow portion of your bed. And look at that extra quilting around these plates. Also striking: there is a three sided border in a pattern called Ice Cream Cone. Blue, like a blue sky always puts all of us in a good and positive mood. A feel good quilt.

Memory Chain Amish Patchwork Quilt

The Amish call this quilt pattern a “Memory Chain.” It is a patchwork in a pattern we have never seen before. More genius: the patches are soft and muted, kind of indefinite and searching, like remembering, like memory. The rest of the top and back are a soft ivory color. The maker used high-loft batting for this quilt so it is extra cozy and warm. There is a lot of hand quilting throughout: feathered twists, vines of hearts, zigzags and garlands . . . representing a life worthwhile and well lived!

Broken Dishes Amish quilt in classic colors

The Amish have made a superb Broken Dishes quilt out of a pink and white calico print and a solid ivory fabric. This is an arduous quilt that requires the utmost in skill and determination. Small triangles are perfectly pieced and each piece of fabric is quilted on all sides. The quilting is uniform and well executed. What should not be overlooked is how the predominately geometric aspect of this quilt pattern is set off and contained within curvilinear floral quilting on and around the quilt’s ivory borders, just inside the binding. Balance brought about by contracts

King size hand quilted Color Splash Quilt

This quilt is an archetypal Color Splash: the finest we’ve ever seen. It comes from North Carolina. It isn’t new and it is in perfect condition. This is a hand quilted textile. It is an important and one of a kind quilt that was made around 75 to 90 years ago. The fabrics are long extinct. Some of them are miraculously beautiful contributing to this quilt’s radiance. Every 1.25″ square of fabric is hand quilted on all four sides! There are 6,724 squares! Art for the bedroom, for the bed or, for a wall.

Classic Broken Dishes Amish Quilt Pattern

In researching the Broken Dishes quilt pattern we found that it is an old pattern – one of the oldest, which makes sense: It is made entirely of sewn-together triangles. Brilliant in its simplicity and simple in its brilliance. Stories about the Broken Dishes pattern say that it represents the broken dishes left by settlers on their way west, but we doubt this to be true. This quilt is beautifully made, with perfect pieces and lots of great quilting. Every side of every triangle that makes up our Broken Dishes quilt has been hand quilted. Another thing about this quilt: by daylight or under lamplight it’s completely gorgeous. We love it!

Not just a 9-Patch – a Double 9 Patch Amish Quilt!

A Unique Amish Patchwork Quilt

9 Patch Amish quilts are usually pieced with sashes between each 9 Patch square. This time the maker eliminated all sashes and sewed the 9 Patch square to each other. The overall effect is that of shimmering water. The solid fabrics in this quilt are traditional Amish and nicely compliment the print fabrics. Be sure to view the detail photos: the quilt’s borders are heavily hand quilted with intertwined hearts and doves.
