Alsace 04: Amish and Mennonite Quilts in the Theatre

From the stage

Many of the examples  on show dated back to the C19th as well as early years of the last century. One could instantly recognise the few made in the 70's and 80's as ones made to sell.
Mennonite; Maryland c.1875.  A very rare quilt 

Mennonite c.1890 Pennsylvania

I never saw an Amish quilt using other than solids. My school was in the heart of Amish country. It looks like an interesting display.
