Alsace 08: Grand Finale; Amish Quilts

I wanted my last go round to be of the superb Amish quilts, these from the collections of Hans Zogg in a church and Jacques Legeret in the theatre.
Utterly gorgeous with a very contemporary feel.
However it's a late C19th piece.

This is a Lancaster County Amish quilt made 1953-4 for
Susie Lapp's wedding by her mother. 


Mennonite Starburst made c.1875

Detail of Mennonite Straight Furrows log cabin made in Western Pennsylvania 1890-1900

Loved this one though the photo isn't very good. Ohio Crazy from late C19th
