Antique Car Embroidery Amish Quilt measures 85 x 97 inches to fit your Double or Twin size bed. It was hand quilted and is from Lancaster County PA. Brown Calico fabric is on the border and the back of the quilt, framing all 24 embroidered squares. You can see the Model T, Studebaker, Packer, Duryea, an old Cadillac and more antique cars. There are approximately 6-7 handquilted stitches per inch. A wonderful quilt that is seeped in time and care both in the quilting and the hand embroidery displayed.
Lancaster County PA has a large community of Mennonite who are 'Old Order', which means that they do not drive automobies. As a result, in this area of Lancaster County, there are many carriage shops (to repair buggies), and black trousers and solid colored dresses of purple and blue are a common sight, waving to all from a clothesline strung high in the backyard.
