Around the World in 80 Quilts

Okay, maybe not 80, but many countries have quilting traditions specific to their little part of the planet. A custom quilt featuring these unique styles can be your passport to that exotic location that you’ve always wanted to visit.
Can’t make a trip to Asia? The colorful embroidery of Indian Ralli quilts brings the feel of New Delhi to you, while a beautiful indigo quilt from Japan, sewn with stylized Sashiko running stitches, will remind you of Tokyo travels. If a safari isn’t in your future, enjoy the mix of asymmetrical shapes and contrasting colors found in modern-day African quilts instead. Or, maybe your ideal vacation is a little closer to home – in that case, dream of the day with a nature inspired Hawaiian appliqué quilt or a traditional Amish quilt design.
