Amish Log Cabin Wall Quilt

Improvisational Amish style Log Cabin quilt, Courthouse Steps variation. I like the movement in the zig-zag areas as your eye travels across the quilt. See my most recent series of Amish quilts on Instagram @karengriska.

Amish style Sunshine and Shadow Quilts

You can do so much with the simple one-patch. I like the action that this color arrangement creates. The actual colors are nicer than they look on my screen, especially the hot pink.

The quilt below has a more classic layout with the squares creating a big diamond shape, and the large blocks in the corners. This quilt is available in my Etsy shop.

Amish Buggy Quilt

This quilt is the latest addition to the Etsy store. It was finished just before the blizzard when the power went off and the Internet connection was lost. But now we're back in business.

This  Midwestern Amish style quilt is less traditional than most Pennsylvania Amish quilts because it contains yellow, it's made up of a repeating block, the borders are not wide, and it has simple quilting. It would probably be a utility quilt rather than a "Sunday best" quilt. But isn't it pretty? I think the colors are delicious.

Stay tuned for another Amish style quilt, a 9-patch is in the works, and coming soon.

 

Amish Pineapple Quilt

I just finished this quilt last night and listed it on Etsy today. This is one of my favorites because it's such a classic quilt. High contrast fabrics are perfect for showing off all the pineapple points.

The blocks have traditional red center squares, but where the blocks intersect, there is a yellow square (on point). See bottom photo. I love that.

PA Amish Sunshine & Shadow Quilt, Pink

This is a classic Pennsylvania Amish style quilt called "Sunshine and Shadow." When it's made using printed fabrics (rather than solids) it's called "Trip Around the World." I love the delicious colors in this quilt!

New Amish Style Crib/Wall Quilt

This quilt was inspired by one in the book "Amish Crib Quilts from the Sarah Miller Collection." Several shades of purple/periwinkle/lavender add depth.
