Vintage Pennsylvania Amish “Sunshine and Shadows” Hand-Stitched Crib Quilt
Located in Barrington, IL
This beautifully hand-crafted Amish quilt, made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania during the mid-1900s, features the beloved “Sunshine and Shadows” pattern—an enduring symbol of balance and tradition in Amish quiltmaking. Composed of hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton pieces, the quilt showcases a striking palette of blues, reds, and greens arranged with rhythmic precision and quiet elegance. Expertly sewn with exceptionally fine stitching, this quilt reflects the Amish community’s deep-rooted values of simplicity, resourcefulness, and craftsmanship. As was customary, the materials used were repurposed from what was available in the home—making this quilt not only a work of art, but also a beautiful example of early upcycling, where practicality and creativity seamlessly intertwine. While quilts like this were originally created for everyday use, their enduring beauty and cultural significance have made them highly collectible. Because of its intricate design and visual impact, this quilt is especially well-suited for display as a wall-hung textile. Please note: some colors may appear distorted in photos—refer to the video for a more accurate representation. Dimensions: 36” x 44” Date of Manufacture: 2nd Quarter of the 1900s Place of Origin: Pennsylvania, United States Material: Cotton Condition: Excellent The Persian Knot, SKU: 2238 Amish Sunshine and Shadows Quilt, American Amish Sunshine and Shadows Quilts, Sunshine and Shadows Quilts, Vintage Amish Sunshine and Shadows Quilts, Sunshine and Shadows Crib Quilts, Antique Amish Crib Quilts, Amish American Quilts, Pennsylvania Quilts, Lancaster County Quilts...
