CON JW Amish Plain Quilt
c.1940
63 x 82
Ohio
SOLD

This is the quintessential Amish quilt; very representative of the culture and style of the “Plain People”, as the Amish are known by outsiders. In unused condition, the deep black cotton sateen provides the perfect backdrop for the graphic pop of the 2 ½ inch blue inner border. The quilting is detailed yet hidden in the dark colors, as humility is required throughout Amish life. The center is quilted with a large feather medallion, with crosshatching inside and around the background. The blue border is quilted in a pumpkin seed motif, and the black outer border is quilted in an arc pattern. The backing is a purple blue cotton, and the 5/8 inch binding matches the blue of the inner border. This art form transcends the full range of architectural design from traditional to modern, so this beautiful quilt would look equally stunning in a home of any design. If you love Amish quilts, don’t let this one get away! Professionally hand washed by Betsey.

Q8437 Love Apple

64 ½ x 65 ½
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

$1,895
What a prime example of the Pennsylvania color palette! The overdyed green, double pink, yellow calico, and unusual blue print cottons give this very sophisticated pattern a decidedly folky interpretation. Pieced and appliqued by hand and machine, the four block formation is indicative of earlier quilts, and is another unique characteristic of this creative piece. All hand quilted with chevrons, crosshatching, and diagonal lines, with some pencil marks still showing. This crisp and unused quilt has a 9 ½ inch quadruple border and a 3/8 inch binding turned over from the front to the back. The wholecloth backing is a wonderful blue, white, and pink woven plaid cotton. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.

What an incredible textile, perfect for a stunning piece of wall art!

Q8557 Amish Black and Taupe Fine Wool Log Cabin
c.1875
75 x 75
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
SOLD

In unused condition, this very sophisticated, fine wool quilt would be the perfect designer or serious collector’s piece. The rare color combination of black and taupe creates a powerful but subtle graphic impact. Each log cabin block was formed separately from radiating squares foundation pieced to the backing. The logs are ¾ inch wide, and were placed so the outer black perimeter of each block created the illusion of sashing. The quilt was assembled by seaming together the finished blocks, and covering each seam allowance with matching backing fabric and hand stitching into place. The backing is a wonderful circa 1845 brown, madder dye and cream print, and the binding is a ½ inch wide taupe wool. Gorgeous!

Q8377 Unique Variation of Prince's Feather/ Sawtooth Diamond in a Square
c.1885 84 x 86 Pennsylvania $5,400
This graphically stunning Mennonite quilt was made by an extremely skilled quilter with a bold and confident eye for color. Vibrant double pink and overdyed green fabrics have been pieced and appliqued in a variation of a Prince's Feather inside a Sawtooth Diamond. The extravagant use of the same purchased yardage for both the front and back of the quilt indicates the quilter came from an affluent family. The backing has been formed by alternating 7 3/4 inch bars of pink and green, allowing this quilt to be totally reversible and equally gorgeous no matter what side is displayed! The tiny and precise quilting has been completed in outline, crosshatch, and serpentine feather patterns, and unlike many Pennsylvania quilts, the 1/4 inch overdyed green binding has been applied separately. A label with the inscription "Ms. A.F. Brandt, Falmouth, PA" was probably attached to the back corner of the quilt sometime at a much later date. This beautiful quilt has it all; color, graphics, skilled needlework, and in unused condition. Perfect! Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
