Antique Quilt Love Affair

5 of 10

Favorite Finds

Everyone has a favorite quilt. Early 1800s Amish quilts from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, are attractive because the quilters used only four patterns and made quilts from solid fabrics, usually very fine wool. Others love the charm of quilts made in the 30s and 40s with their sweet motifs of innocent childhood. Folk art lovers prefer those that hark back to a more primitive lifestyle. And who can resist a quilt that reminds us of the wagon rides across the prairies?
