Lady of the Lake Quilt

The quilt design is composed of six pieced blocks across by eight down with no alternate blocks. The stitches are composed of cross hatching within the pieces and cables and ellipses in the borders. This particular quilt is thought to have originated in an Amish community in Ohio. The quilts of the Ohio Amish reflect this diversity and are developed from a large repertoire of pattern designs, with two-color block quilts like this one being quite common. Colors are chosen from a full color pallet to create designs with an aesthetic towards a strong overall composition, based on ordered geometric forms.
