I think it looks very traditional Amish. The black squares formed on point leave an inviting canvas for beautiful hand quilted feather wreaths. Traditional Amish quilts were made of solids, usually wool, left over from clothing. They were meant to be plain as that is one of their tenants. The quilting would be done in a thread that matched the fabric so as not to stand out but still be beautiful in its execution but subtle in appearance.
