This Amish maker used the Dutch Roses pattern which was published in the Chicago Tribune’s Nancy Cabot column in 1935, and syndicated in the Progressive Farm Magazine. Many Amish quiltmakers did not use appliqué with regularity, and this maker did not seem to be adept at it. According to the dealer who acquired this quilt, the maker did not use it because she thought co-religionists might consider it “too worldly.” But perhaps the maker was simply not pleased with her work, as it did not having the flowing lines of her non-Amish neighbors’ appliqué work.
