I bought this quilt at an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, USA. At a farm located between the towns of ‘Eden’ and ‘Paradise’ (yes, that is really what those places are called!), in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; this area is also known as the ‘Pennsylvania Dutch Country’, a beautiful region where many Amish live on large farms.
The Amish are known for their beautiful handicrafts. The women are very skilled at making quilts. In America, Amish quilts are very popular and also a ‘collector’s item’.
