I admired, and still do, Amish style quilts and had bought several books on Amish quilting. This wall hanging is hand pieced and hand quilted. I quilted a double heart in the pink center, a heart swag in the border and quilted in the ditch around the inner borders.

Looking back at this, I’m surprised that I jumped into marking and quilting the heart swag so soon in my quilting career. I quilted the swag in black thread as is often traditional in Amish quilts (or so I read).
