Vintage American Amish “Block and Star” Hand-Stitched Cotton Quilt
Located in Barrington, IL
This beautifully hand-crafted Amish quilt, created in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania circa the mid-1900s, showcases the classic “Block and Star” pattern—an enduring design that reflects the harmony of geometry and tradition within Amish quiltmaking.
The quilt features a soft, refined palette of lavender, gray, and pink, with each cotton piece meticulously hand-cut and hand-stitched. The exceptional workmanship and fine needlework speak to the quiet discipline and artistry passed down through generations within the Amish community.
Crafted from repurposed household fabrics, this quilt embodies a spirit of resourcefulness, where everyday materials were transformed into objects of beauty and lasting significance. More than utilitarian, it is a cultural artifact—woven with meaning, memory, and the values of simplicity and sustainability.
Now a highly collectible form of American folk art, this quilt’s delicate craftsmanship and visual appeal make it ideal for wall display, offering both historical depth and aesthetic grace.
Please note: Some colors may appear distorted in photographs—please refer to the video for accurate color representation.
Dimensions: 36” x 56”
