Give in to temptation - you might be pleasantly surprised. Amish and Mennonite men quilt, too. Especially their own horse blankets, saddle blankets, etc. Definately call ahead to the local Amish/Mennonite fabric shop and tell them your situation. They are generally very kind, accomodating, and encouraging :)
Oh - local quilt guilds would likely be helpful, as well :D
