About the Item

A large Amish quilt of center diamond pattern made from a red, green and light blue fine wool and cotton blend and backed by chambray cotton panel. The center diamond in the square pattern is supplemented with four smaller square corners, rendering its bold iconic aesthetic. The separated surface areas feature subtle pierced stitches in various designs including a large opening floral motif with corner baskets in the center, sunflowers on the corners, scrolling garlands in the green borders and diamond quilting on the smaller pink squares. These folky details contrast interestingly with the overall bold nature of the construction pattern. The quilt was made in Amish Lancaster County in Pennsylvania circa 1900. It somehow strikes the viewer as a form of modern and abstract art Compared this quilt with another one we have on offer (LU) that was used to be in the collection of International Quilt Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

19th Century Amish Quilt, Hand-Stitched Cotton, Diamond Pattern

19th Century Amish Quilt, Hand-Stitched Cotton, Diamond Pattern

Located in Barrington, IL

An exceptional 19th-century American Amish quilt featuring a striking "Diamond in a Square Trip Around the World" pattern, hand-stitched with precision and care. Originating from the Amish communities of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, this quilt showcases a bold palette of forest green, burgundy, and baby blue — a unique color combination that enhances the geometric movement of the traditional layout. Each piece of fabric was hand-cut and repurposed from materials available at the time, resulting in a utilitarian object elevated to an expression of cultural identity and visual artistry. A superb example of early American craftsmanship, this quilt is both a collector’s item and a compelling piece of textile art for refined interiors.
