Amish Quilt Sampler......TG 46

[Photo of Amish Quilt Sampler......TG 46] A closer look...jpeg image

This design is really a quilt lesson as well as an attractive wall hanging. It is a step by step glimpse into the instinctive color sense of Amish culture reflected in the art of their quilts. This study of Amish quilt structure is detailed in the sampler with its strong almost contemporary results. "For thou art worthy" is the recognition due these simple creators of such wondrous works of art.
