Classic-style Amish quilts made with fine woolens in deeply saturated colors were the quintessential quilt analog to mid-century modernist abstract paintings. Because of the similarity, demand for these antique quilts drove prices quickly upwards. Ohio dealers Susan and George Delagrange offered an alternative: Susan designed quilts inspired by classic Amish quilts and the Delagrange’s company, Amish Design, hired Amish women to make them. Amish Design sold the pieces as new quilts; nevertheless, they were easily mistaken for classic Amish quilts.
