Product Description

The Amish women of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country have been creating exquisite quilted masterpieces since the 1800s. Amish quilts represent personal expression, craftsmanship, and frugality, and are the most desired in the world. This book is the first to take quilters inside the Amish tradition of the Circle letter. From each letter, a quilt block is created to represent a significant event in the life of the quilter; these letters and blocks are passed around a circle of 11 friends, and once 121 blocks have been created, they are joined together to create a beautiful work of art that tells the story of family and friends - a circle quilt.

With this book, quilters will step into the everyday life of the Amish community and follow the journey of 11 women who maintain their friendships while keeping a record of their lives. Quilters will enjoy the heartwarming stories while following step-by-step instructions for creating their own Amish circle quilt, as well as a baby quilt, wall hanging, table runner and appliquéd aprons and bags.

-Heartwarming stories give readers insight into the Amish community -Instructions for creating and Amish Circle Quilt as well as 8 smaller projects with a similar motif -Full-size color patterns - a great value

5.0 out of 5 stars An anthology of 121 actual-size piece and applique quilt block patterns, July 5, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Amish Circle Quilt: 121 Quilt Block Patterns That Tell A Story (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars intriguing book for quilters, September 15, 2009
By Wynner "on WyLaWay" (St Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Amish Circle Quilt: 121 Quilt Block Patterns That Tell A Story (Paperback)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Amish Circle, May 28, 2009
This review is from: The Amish Circle Quilt: 121 Quilt Block Patterns That Tell A Story (Paperback)
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.
