AMISH 'FLOATING' BARS VINTAGE QUILT


 
AMISH 'FLOATING' BARS VINTAGE QUILT
One of the three iconic pieced designs of the Lancaster PA Amish community is the Bars pattern. The absence of corner blocks, termed 'floating', distills this graphic design to its essence, an austere composition often compared to modern art. Fine 'pebbled' surface of the fabric is distinct to the materials used by the Lancaster community around mid century as a replacement for the wool used decades before, being practical in terms of care and durability, ease of handling and retaining the color saturation for which their quilts are known.
