Over 7000 small pieces of fabric make this magnificent Postage Stamp Patchwork Amish Quilt which measures approximately 94 x 108 inches to fit your Queen or Double size bed.  Katie, an Old Order Amish Mennonite woman from Pennsylvania, pieced the top of this wonderful quilt, using over 7000 tiny pieces of different fabrics with each of the tiny squares measuring less than 1 inch square.  A wonderful design created in navy blue and burgundy with green and tan coffee as the contrast color.  When Katie was done designing and piecing together the thousands of 1 inch square fabric stamps, then Mary Grace, our Mennonite Quilter, did the intricate quilting on it.  There are approximately  7  handquilted stitches per inch. 

Taught by her mother, Mary Grace has since passed down both the skill and the love for quilting to her daughter.  'I just love to quilt', she says, and both her enthusiasm and extensive skill show in the way she can thread the trails through the quilt.  Mary Grace quilts because she loves it, and has given away to the local Mennonite schools about a dozen quilts over the years for their various fundraisers.  Mary Grace is one of our Mennonite Quilters.
