Other information:
 The collection is on loan from the International Quilt Study Center located on campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and features quilts from three distinct Amish regions; Lancaster County and Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, as well as various Amish communities throughout Ohio and surrounding Midwest states.

"This exhibit provides a wonderful opportunity to examine these functional pieces as works of art with glorious color combinations and interesting geometric patterns," says Harriet Swedlund, a former SDSU professor with expertise in textiles and design.
