People are under the assumption that "Amish" means "Better Quality". I live about an 45 min from a huge Amish community. One of my favorite quilt stores is there. I've looked at their quilts and found more imperfections than I would let pass in one of mine. I've also seen them using a machine. The store I go to sells the quilts for at least $1200. No special patterns or fabrics and many of them are there on consignment. I sometimes wonder if just putting a store in Amish Country means instant sales.
They are in no way superior and not worth anymore than one of ours.
