Amish Ninepatch
Unidentified Amish Quilt Maker
Circa 1940
74 x 74 inches
Probably Lancaster County, PA
In Excellent (Near-Mint) Condition, this beautiful example of a Lancaster County, PA Amish quilt is worked in both cottons and wools.
The quilt maker made carefully placed her twenty-five Ninepatch blocks (and alternate plain blocks) with clear artistic intention. Some have said it has a sacred feel...
The hand quilting is finely done, and executed in non-contrasting color thread ~ hallmarks of classic Amish quilts.
