Amish Quilt Patterns

Free Amish Quilt templates are wonderful choices for beginning sewers and seasoned quilters alike.

Choose a pattern that's right for your skill level and download the free templates to start your project right away. There are many Amish quilt patterns including stars, flowers, blocks and baskets.

Use modern supplies like fusible webbing to position and secure your appliqués to the quilt. Use a simple zigzag or satin stitch to conceal the raw edges of the appliqué pieces. Hand stitching is the traditional method and the edges are finished with decorative embroidery.

Many free Amish patterns are simple squares, rectangles and triangles that are quick to cut out and assemble. Other patterns have appliqué motifs that are fun and challenging. Click on the picture to the left for the printable 6" block of the Amish Quilt block.
