What the know it all doesn't know is that a lot of the Amish quilts are not sewn by Amish women. I was reading an article in an old quilting magazine (given to me in a stack of quilt magazines given to me by a wonderful woman that lives a couple of miles away that I met on the board). The Amish women have been farming out a lot of their work to women that came over from Hmong. The Amish churches, and Mennonite churches sponsored Hmong families, and found that they did beautiful work.
