AMISH BOWTIE FOUR PATCH FRIENDSHIP ANTIQUE QUILT

AMISH BOWTIE FOUR PATCH FRIENDSHIP ANTIQUE QUILT
   

 



This most uncommon 'Friendship" quilt contains initials in many of the blocks, suggesting these were family or friends who contributed to the completed quilt, perhaps as a wedding gift? The pattern is also an uncommon find, in that it incorporated pieced Bowtie blocks that are set on point and in rotation to surround a circle motif at each group's center. Classic Holmes County Ohio Amish attributes, including the use of black cotton sateen and rich deep jewel tones inthe piecing. Excellent untouched condition.
