Amish Star - Barn Quilt

$19.95 

Amish Star features the 8 pointed star in the center surrounded by triangles and squares.

The double sided version looks great when displayed at your mailbox or as a yard sign!

The eight-pointed star appears in a traditional quilt block called the "Amish Star." However, there's no historical evidence that the Amish originated this pattern, although it appears in Amish-made quilts. There's also a staple of contemporary rustic decor often advertised by retailers as an "Amish Barn Star." Sometimes produced by Amish craftsmen, the five-pointed star turns up on interior and exterior walls in both urban and rural settings. Possibly a throwback to the original barn stars, these modern stars have no connection to the Amish culture and no particular meaning. They're simply decorative.
