The Amish shun modern society in order to live a simpler life focused on God and family. Anything to do with the outside world is shunned by the Amish including art. The art of Amish quilting has developed within the Amish community because the quilt itself served a purpose, so adding decorative elements to it was considered allowable. The art of quilting, did not become a tradition in Amish homes until the late 1800s. The earliest Amish designs were basic squares and rectangles, which slowly evolved into more colorful and bold patterns, such as Amish style baskets, flowers, and grapevines. These patterns began to develop slowly over time, first showing up in just the corners and the borders and eventually working their way to the centers and focal points of the quilts. Many Amish quilters worked on their quilts alone during the cold winter months, but then got together with the other Amish quilters of the town to form Quilting Bees in the spring and summer months. These quilting gatherings gave the Amish women the opportunity to catch up on all the town news while finishing the assembly of their specially quilts. This is a pattern that is used to sew and to create a needlepoint or cross stitch picture. This is NOT a completed product. It is NOT a kit, it contains no floss or fabric. 。 。 。
