I love the black, white and gray one.

Jingle 05-03-2010 05:42 AM

Very beatuiful, all of them.

flikkem 05-03-2010 05:45 AM

I have a related question. Do all Amish quilts have a certain common denominator regarding colors or patterns used in their quilts? I have noticed that many have black in them, but maybe not all?

mimee4 05-03-2010 05:53 AM

Impossible to choose. They all are absolutely beautiful.

damaquilts 05-03-2010 06:00 AM

Dahlia, And Blue Diamond Star. Neither of which I will ever make.

I like #1,#2,#3,#4,#5 the best.. :lol: .....I can't choose, they are all beautiful!

I like the dahlia. Are some of those fabrics prints? From what I understand, Amish would not use prints, only solids. The patterns are traditional Amish patterns however.

Quilter2B 05-03-2010 07:23 AM

Choices, choices, choices. . . . uhm, I like them all but if I had to choose it would be the first one and the dahlia.

iltoaz 05-03-2010 07:32 AM

Like them all BUT the Double Wedding Ring gets my vote.

reddogs 05-03-2010 07:39 AM

I love the Dahlia quilt - where did you get the pattern? and is that the name of the pattern?

quiltincharlotte 05-03-2010 09:18 AM

I don't think I can pick just one as my favorite! They are all beautiful and perfectly made!

lass 05-03-2010 01:14 PM

Definitely the first!

Rexene 05-03-2010 02:32 PM

Colorado Log Cabin Star is my first choice, then the Double Wedding Ring. However, they are all pretty!

They're all wonderful, but if I HAD to choose, I'd take the Dahlia, and the Blue Diamond Star.

Wish I could find the pattern for the Colorado Log Cabin Star!! Know where I could find it? It's my 2nd favorite....my favorite is the last one and I already have the pattern for the Diamond log Cabin Star which is similar to the Blue Diamond Star!

Glenda Kay 05-04-2010 08:43 AM

They are all wonderful but I like the Log Cabin Star the best.

I love the dahlia. The others are very pretty too.

Denise0256 05-05-2010 06:44 PM

Well I looked many times and the first two have my vote, I know you said pick one, but I can't pick between the two.

Sheila Elaine 05-05-2010 06:55 PM

The Dahlia. Love it.

Harmony 05-05-2010 07:00 PM

Nobody does it like the Amish do!

*QuilterWannabee* 05-05-2010 07:20 PM

They're all awesome, but that Dahlia catches my eye the most, for some reason.

CarrieAnne 05-05-2010 07:23 PM

Yes, there are common colours used in Amish quilts--black is one of them, along with dark blue and dark green. As time has passed, more and more Amish ladies are using brighter colours as accents in their quilts.

As for the patterns, there are so many that they make, but a few of the common ones associated with the Amish are Log Cabin, Wedding Ring, Broken Star and Boston Common.

Glad you like the pictures! They sure are beautiful, aren't they?

Fern.

The Amish culture represents many communities that vary widely. Many of them adopt different rules and ways of doing things; for example, some Amish communities have rubber tires on their buggies while others still only have wooden spoke tires. The Amish community where these quilts come from are free to use printed fabrics in their quilts, which enables the Amish quilter to express her artistic ability that much more when making a quilt.

Thanks,
Fern.

I found this quilt at a local Amish farm--I don't know what the official name of the pattern is; the Amish lady just called it a Dahlia. It sure is beautiful, isn't it!

I like them all, but my favorite is the Log Cabin Star.

STEMSAM 05-29-2010 07:29 PM
