Twice I have spent a week in the amish country around Lancaster, PA and spent most of that time looking at quilts. The pictures don't do them justice. They are amazing in person. The only one I could afford was a single irish chain but I cherish it was it is hand piecef, and hand quilted and the piecing was done by the men in the family. If you saw their hands you'd wonder how they could manage that but they do.
