LONE STAR
DIAMOND-IN-THE-SQUARE

DOUBLE NINE PATCH

Nappanee is dedicated to celebrating Amish life, and what better way than to recreate four classic quilt patterns: Lone Star, Diamond-in-the-Square, Sunshine and Shadows and Double Nine Patch. In 2001, each of these patterns was reproduced in a series of US postage stamps, first issued in Nappanee. All are based popular quilts crafted between 1910 and 1940 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Many Elkhart County Amish have kin in that Pennsylvania enclave, the largest in the United States.
