AMISH STAR OF BETHLEHEM ANTIQUE QUILT

AMISH STAR OF BETHLEHEM ANTIQUE QUILT
   

 



The rustic version of an American classic, this Indiana Amish example juxtaposes lighter toned woolens against a black background. The wools are heavier weight from suiting scraps, and there are initials in one corner. Wonderfully framed with multiple borders indicating a thoughtful attention on the part of the quiltmaker to produce something artistic from even the utilitarian fabrics at hand.
