Very good book.
AMISH QUILT, THE ($45)

Not only beautiful Amish quilts, but also their stories and a view on the
communities and eras from which they come. A great body of information about
the Amish and their textile traditions. Facts presented through interviews and
conversations with Amish families and with people whose lives have touched the
Amish people, including many who sold fabrics to these seamstresses.

(Design Diversity from a Plain People)
by Robert Bishop and Elizabeth Safanda
E.P. Dutton, NY 1976 (first published)
Great collection (150) of Amish quilts in color. Splendid black-and-white
photographs of the Amish people and countryside. Also, a comprehensive
introduction provides the cultural and aesthetic background for viewing
these quilts.
SMALL AMISH QUILT PATTERNS
by Rachel Pellman
Good Books, Intercourse, PA 1985
Patterns for making small amish quilts.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE
by Sue Bender
She tells of her fascination with the vibrant colors and stunning geometric
simplicity of the Amish quilts. The quilts "spoke directly to me...they went
straight to my heart." I highly recommend the book. It was after reading her
book that I started learning how to quilt.
