Award-winning quilter Rosemary Youngs presents The Amish Circle Quilt: 121 Quilt Block Patterns That Tell A Story, an anthology of 121 actual-size piece and applique quilt block patterns and correspondence between 11 women who maintained their friendships lifelong. A brief introduction walks readers through the basics of quilting, but most of The Amish Circle Quilt is devoted to the patterns themselves and the letters of true friends. A heartwarming survey of easy-to-make Amish quilt blocks, excellent for direct use or inspiration for one's own cozy creations.

I am a quilter that loves to collect quilt books. I have a love of both Civil War and Amish type quilts, so when I saw this book, I knew it had to be part of my collection. I have read through the book and one day will make the quilt. I am very happy with this purchase.

I loved the stories that tied to the block designs and I especially liked the many different blocks. I'm selecting fabrics now for my next quilt and plan to use several of the blocks shown in this book.

This book is full of 121 quilt block patterns, but I was actually a little overwhelmed to think about making a quilt using all of them, so I haven't made anything using this book yet. I would like to at least make a quilt using some of the block patterns in the future.
