| Would that be along the same line as the Roman Stripe? then you go choose your own colors. |

Amish "plain" clothing is made with solid (usually dark) fabric that is black, or from the green, red, blue, purple part of the "color wheel" (no yellow or orange). Amish-colored quilts use these fabrics along with solid white and off white (light tan -- sometimes called tea-stain, or paper-bag http://www.geocities.com/pcpiecers/romanstripe.html shows a roman stripe. love and kisses, Jan

The Roman Stripe pattern is considered a beginner quilt so go for it.
