Quilt
Posted on January 25th, 2008 by --Deb
A crib-sized, Amish quilt we have hanging in our laundry room. And, no, I did NOT make this. I can make quilts, and I have made quilts, but not this one. This, I bought, and it is authentically Amish. I love Amish quilts–vivid, solid colors, that dance together when “mixed” in just the right way. The pattern is called “Sunshine and Shadow,” and has always been one of my favorites. (Yes, I know, in more traditional designs, it’s sometimes known as “Trip Around the World,” but the Amish ones are almost always called “Sunshine and Shadow” because it’s made up of 3 versions of each color, so that it almost … shimmers.

Beautiful quilt. I see it and want to try to make one, and then remember than I have basically no solid fabric and the moment. Whoops.
Beautiful! I made an Amish styled blanket once in crochet. Before I knew about weaving in ends properly. You can just imagine how that ended…
I love those colors! Gorgeous.
What a beautiful quilt.
Gorgeous quilt. My laundry room is in a dark & scary corner of the basement!
Gorgeous! I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that quilt but then again, I don’t think I’ve been in the laundry room all that often. Ugh, now I want to quilt!
Well, there WAS that time the twins decided to go through Chappy’s doggie door….
I love Amish quilts, too. I wouldn’t dare hang anything in my laundry corner of the basement, either.
Absolutely gooorrrrgggggeeeeeeoooouuuussss! I love those colors.
