Amish Crib Quilts from the Midwest: The Sara Millier Collection

Sara Miller is Amish and owns her own quilt shop out on the family farm near Kalona, Ia. Who better to have the best collection of Amish crib quilts ever. Crib quilts are used hard and loved to shreds by their owners. These quilts are beautiful rare quilts that have survived childhood. I lost my first book of Sara's quilts that I bought from her at her store 13 years ago. I was very happy to find the current version on Amazon, so I could purchase it again for my quilt reference library. If you love quilts, this book is worth owning.

Great documentation on Amish quilt style. The Amish Crib Quilt Collection is full of wonderful examples. Interesting commentary and explanations by the author. A treasure for ideas and quilt making history.

I really liked this book. It clearly explained the impetus behind the collection and gave good photos and background on many of the baby quilts.

This is a computation of many children's quilts made by the Amish. There is one drawback so I coundn't give 5 stars, the photos are quite dark but still the patterns can be seen. It has many adult themes made small and other ideas that have not been used in adult quilts. It is a good reference for quilt patterns. My favorite is the modified log cabin.

This book presents beautiful and clear color photographs of the Sara Miller Amish crib quilt collection, combined with the authors' detailed knowledge of the Amish quilting experience. Not having known much previously about Amish quilting, I was surprised by how beautiful and modern in appearance the quilts were. If you love to look at photos of interesting quilts, and are interested in American history, this is an outstanding book.

Did not disappoint . Excellent book and service.

This book contains page after page of richly colored Amish quilts in a variety of patterns and settings - literally a rainbow of quilts! At times I found the text to be a bit dry, but the background and historical information was very thorough and definitely worth reading. The author has put together a wonderful, well-rounded collection of quilts that will inspire you to want to make a few of your own. If you are a fan of Amish quilts, you will absolutely love this book!

Lots of beautiful designs - now all I need it to work out how to create them and find the time!
