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!

Patchwork

A traditional and colorful Patchwork Quilt

Traditional Patchwork quilts are deceptively difficult to make. In the case of our Patchwork quit, it’s clear that the Amish quilter who designed and made this quilt has strong technical abilities. It took great skill to perfectly align every small piece of fabric in this quilt. The maker’s selection of colors and fabrics is bold. While her chosen colors are strong, they manage to be unobtrusive in a way that this quilt presents itself well in a variety of places. Fabrics are an array of solids and prints. (Item 2175)

Appliqued hearts add interest to our 9 Patch quilt

This is a gorgeous 9 Patch Amish quilt, with a little extra! A “typical” 9 Patch Amish quilt has open space between the colorful Patch squares. In the case of this quilt, the quilter took the extra step of placing appliqued hearts in each open square – all in colors and fabrics that coordinate with the 9 Patch squares. There is so much hand quilting in this quilt. In addition to hand quilting around every appliqued heart, you’ll see that every side of each of the 9 squares of fabric that make up 9 Patch squares is hand quilted. (Item 2166)

Amish Maple Leaf Quilt

A perfectly pieced and beautifully hand quilted Amish Maple Leaf quilt

Our Amish Maple Leaf quilt was created via a tradition patchwork style using a mix of calico and contemporary fabrics. The maker used a wide array of jewel tones with complimentary sash work. There are many interesting and unusual characteristics specific to our Maple Leaf quilt. Each maple leaf block is made using more than 20 pieces of fabric. We love the fabrics and the subtle gradations the quilter has incorporated in the quilt top. She also makes sure that each leaf is a little bit different. Her sash work, while subtle, is difficult to piece: at the intersection around each Maple Leaf she pieced a small square of complimentary fabric. (Item 2187)
