A Nice Plain Quilt for Mary Ann

A Plain Quilt

Mary Ann is content, this Amish style quilt is exactly what she had in mind. She finds the simplicity of the pattern very restful.

.

I accidentally cut off the corners of the innermost border squares, drat, but Mary Ann is not bothered. I found some interesting information about Amish Quilts on this website, including a discussion about the concept of “Humility Blocks”: (click here).

Mary Ann’s Quilt contains no recycled Yoyos, but to see mini quilts made with the old Yoyo quilt fabrics, Click here.

  Thanks! Quite a change of direction, but an enjoyable one. I’ll have to work on getting those corners right!

  During this particular extravaganza I have made fifteen! enough for each Hitty to have one and some left over…I guess I’ll have to acquire a few more Hittys, ha ha ha ha ha!

    That is ALWAYS an excellent solution! But then again, you can use a quilt for so many things.

Mary Ann does look content now. I think she’s found the rest she’d been looking for to be sure. Thanks for sharing this additional beauty of a quilt.

  It is interesting how expressive the Hittys can be! I’ve always liked these Amish style quilts, and may have to make a couple more!

Well now. That is quite a good excuse for acquiring new Hittys–you have too many quilts!!! I’ll have to keep that in mind for the future. I love it! Mary Ann’s quilt is lovely. I never would have known it was an error quilt if you hadn’t told us.

  My husband is the one who suggested this solution – he may not admit it in public, but he likes having them around almost as much as I do.
