Amish Colors

  • The Center Diamond is one of the oldest Amish quilt designs. This quilt with its navy border, red diamond, purple fill, and green sash uses the classic Amish color scheme. Thin batting and abundant quilting give it both the look and feel of an antique quilt. Made in a local Amish home by an Amish woman who incorporated her initials in the quilting in the lower left corner of the quilt.
  • Brilliant simplicity! This quilt shows the wonder of Lancaster Amish quilt making -- even the simplest design can be turned into a treasure through the careful selection of fabrics and skillful piecing and quilting. Border is Navy, and the sash is Burgundy. Made by a local Amish woman.
  • Sharp traditional design! The star stands out brilliantly against the blue surround. The sash is forest green, and the border dark blue with bright red corner squares. Note the extra stars on the pillow fold. Made with thin batting and all-cotton fabric to give look and feel of an antique quilt. Well made by Lancaster Amish woman who has included her initials in the quilting.
  • Terrific! A great combination of the Center Diamond and the Sunshine and Shadow designs. Wonderful coloring with plum cinnamon and avocado tones. The fill surrounding the diamond is Navy (with lots of quilting). The sash is forest green, and the border purple. The corner squares are black. Made in Lancaster by an Amish woman who has subtlety included her initials in the quilting.
  • Brilliant Lone Star on very dark Navy background fabric. The star's fabric colors perhaps are not quite Amish! The sash is bright blue. Note the extra stars on the pillow fold. Made in Lancaster by Amish woman.
  • Lovely coloring! Note the care taken in piecing the patchwork. Brilliant design. Be sure to note all the fine quilting. Made in Lancaster by an Amish woman. This quilt is symmetric and may be used sideways on a king size bed. Exceptional value!
