Artist's Statement:
I Love Amish quilts. In the Quilt Index, I saw several Amish quilts made by the women of the Yoder family from 1875 to 1910, I had just received a goody bag from our local quilt show with squares of Kona fabrics, squares of wool, some buttons and an 18" square batting sample. All I had to add was some black fabric, some thread and my quilt, "Amish Modern," was born.
Inspiration quilt:
