This volume features 21 Amish-inspired quilts by some of today's top quilt designers—with simple patterns showing off beautiful solid fabrics. Thirty years after Roberta Horton’s classic, An Amish Adventure, introduced quilters to the joys of Amish quilting, the editors at C&T Publishing are proud to bring you the adventure's next chapter. Along with the 21 featured quilt projects, this volume includes a gallery of 17 more beautiful quilts and an introduction by Roberta herself on what makes a quilt Amish. Some of the quilt projects in this volume use traditional 19th-century patterns. Others offer distinctly modern takes on Amish ideas. They all celebrate the simplicity, the bold geometry, and the rich dark fabrics that give Amish quilts their ageless appeal.

The noted quilt designer shares his love of Amish craftsmanship with 10 new patchwork quilt patterns in this step-by-step guide. Carl Hentsch has always admired Amish quilts and quilters. Living only a short distance from an old-order Amish community has allowed him to explore their world, meet some of the quilters themselves, and more fully appreciate their ability to create beautiful quilts without the use of electricity. Amish-Inspired Quilts for Today’s Home explores their use of color and design in 10 quilts using modern fabrics and techniques. Ranging from easy to challenging, these projects offer beautiful bursts of color in blocks such as Basket, Log Cabin, and Star.
