Patchwork

  • Wow! A very spirited design with fabrics similar to those that were popular during the Civil War. A special very unusual quilt. Signed and dated (with ink) by its Amish maker . This quilt is symmetric and may be used sideways on a King size bed.
  • The simple Garden Shadow pattern is a pleasant foil to the extravagant amount of quilting applied to this quilt. Note how the blues and reds in the large floral print are picked up in the other fabrics. Also note how both patterns and shade of each fabric contribute to the "shadows". Nicely constructed, good piecework and stitching.
