A textile artbook, showcasing the quilts themselves
Illustrated with full-color photographs on every page, Amish Quilts Of Lancaster County is a gorgeous showcase of its title. Brief text introductions ground the reader in Amish quiltmaking history and techniques, but the majority of Amish Quilts Of Lancaster County is effectively a textile artbook, showcasing the quilts themselves in all their bold color and down-to-earth...

Boring
I had expected the book to give directions for making Amish quilts. It is more of a referance book, showing early Amish quilting. Nice pics, but not what I had expected

This review is from: Amish Quilts of Lancaster County (Paperback)
Illustrated with full-color photographs on every page, Amish Quilts Of Lancaster County is a gorgeous showcase of its title. Brief text introductions ground the reader in Amish quiltmaking history and techniques, but the majority of Amish Quilts Of Lancaster County is effectively a textile artbook, showcasing the quilts themselves in all their bold color and down-to-earth patterns. Most sample quilts are shown in an overall photograph, a detail photograph, and a photograph of the quilt's back. A truly beautiful sampling, and a joy for avid quiltmakers and quilt aficionados to simply page through.

This is a fine exploration of Amish quilting. The book gives detailed information on each of the quilts shown, including stitches per inch, along with photographs of the backs of each quilt.
