This Woodland Heart Quilting Bee Patchwork Amish Quilt measures approximately 97 x 109 inches to fit your Queen bed. A wonderful quilt done in forest greens, violet, lavendar and a spring green. This quilt was made by a quilting bee held at Janice H home. Janice is known for having youth quilting bees, where the local plain youth can come and help on the quilt that will benefit their one room school. You can tell it was handquilted at a Quilting Bee when you see the varied hand quilting that is displayed on it. The average hand quilted stitching is quite large and long measuring approximately 4-5 handquilted stitches per inch. The fabric on the back of the quilt is a paisley tan on tan print. This is a beautiful quilt, created for a cause that the youth really are enthused about, their school. The hand quilted stitches are large.
A product of a real old fashioned quilting bee, you can see small areas of quilting that reflect the work done by a young girl (with probably around 4-5 handquilted stitches per inch). Remember, she is quilting this to help her school, which is a small one room schoolhouse, complete with out house in the back. It would be natural for a young Amish girl to want to learn on this bright and happy quilt and passing down this time-honored talent and art is a valued occurrence in the Amish community where this quilting bee was held.
This Amish Quilt comes with a Level Two Certification (click here for more info).
This quilt comes with a free fabric storage bag.
