Amish Mini Quilt

     This mini quilt top was pieced fifteen years ago when I needed something to hang on a newly papered wall in the dining room. The cathedral ceiling sloped to its highest point over this area but I didn't want a painting, plaque or mirror. When I saw the design in a book of quilts, I found the Amish colors and simple but arresting pattern very appealing. Although the cotton quilt top has a soft country feel,  the sharp angles and shapes lend a modern touch, so when I recently replaced the old patterned wallpaper with a contemporary color paint, I opted to rehang the quilt. And I still love it.
