I found this article on the Amish quilts by the Hmong. The Amish had sponsored Hmong families to come to the US, that is how that got started.
This article is from the early 1990's, so it has been going on a long time.
Perhaps the sign on the quilt display reads "Amish Style" then it doesnt say who the maker is.

These people do not get the big money--the stores do.
Sorry I had to vent as I feel the tourists who go there for genuine "Amish" quilts and pay the big prices are being lied to. What is your opinion?
