Amish Quilts

Amish quilts reflect the Amish way of simplicity and utilitarianism. These Amish quilts display variations in traditional patterns such as nine-patch and diamond-center-in-a-square in all-solid Amish colors. Each Amish quilt from Branch Hill Joinery is made from 100% all-cotton materials. Amish quilt tops are made from heavy Kona cotton. Inside is a warm layer of pure cotton batting. The backings are special Quilt Back cotton. Amish quilts are individually designed, pieced on a treadle sewing machine. and hand quilted with traditional Amish patterns -- ferns, florals, and geometric shapes. The hand quilting is done with cotton thread in very fine stiching - eight to ten stiches per inch.
