Amish Quilts-Part 6

This is the last installment in the Amish quilts exhibit at the Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum www.quiltandtextilemuseum.com

This is an Amish take on a crazy quilt. It looks very different done all in solids.

This is a display of two quilts side by side. The one on the right is Amish and the one on the left is Mennonite. The close up shows the small patterned fabric.

This quilt has a woven coverlet hanging beside it.

Vibrant colors and tiny, even stitches!

This neutral quilt is not what I normally picture in my head as an Amish quilt, but it is still beautiful!

Lots of vivid colors!

Shocking pink!

The museum is in a beautiful old bank building. Here is a view of the ceiling. The bank vault was decorated and made into a children's room with activities related to quilts. The Amish girl is a wall mural. I loved being able to look at the quilts while my kids played happily in the vault!

Amish Quilts-Part 1

We just came back from Pennsylvania where we visited the Lancaster Quilt and Textile Museum. I have lots of pictures to share, so I will do it in several parts. These all date around the early to mid 1900's. These pictures do not do them justice.

The hand quilting stitches are so tiny and even! More quilts to come. www.quiltandtextilemuseum.com
