This One May Well Be Amish...

There are several things about this quilt that suggest an Amish origin, starting with the all solid colors. The exceptional hand quilting, measuring 10 fine stitches per inch, also fits the bill.

But we have no information on its exact origin, except that it was collected in the Midwest.

The colors here are very interesting and cool ~ very 1930s/1940s ~ and the execution is exceptionally good. Very well made, and with a separately applied binding.

All cottons, and in EXCELLENT, CRISP CONDITION
