Amish quilts
The art of Amish quilts is a combination of bold color and design brought about by humble quilt makers. There are entire museums dedicated the collection, preservation and display of these classic bed coverings turned into art. The allure is grounded in the humility and straightforward manner in which they are created –truly an old-world technique that is still yielding amazing results in our modern world.
Modern Amish quilts made in the United States come from twenty-one different states. All of these communities are known for their different styles of quilting, each region has its own unique style markers. Modern quilts are a way that Amish women add color to their rather plain and humble homes. These unusual color combinations are what so many collectors are after.
Vintage Amish quilts made from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century are highly collectible and sought after. These quilts were some of the earliest quilts made by the Amish and represent the values, faith and strict moral code. It is the complete product of beauty, hard work and a reflection of faith that makes these quilts so beautiful and desirable.
