Amish Echo Churn Quilt Pattern

The Amish Echo Churn Quilt Pattern by Needle in a Hayes Stack is a lively reinterpretation of traditional Amish quilting, combining classic structure with bold colour and movement.
Inspired by the timeless simplicity of Amish quilt design, this pattern is brought to life using the Echo Batiks fabric line by Moda, resulting in a quilt that feels both traditional and joyfully modern.
The familiar churn-style layout provides strong visual balance, while the use of batik fabrics introduces rich colour variation and subtle texture.
This contrast creates a quilt that honours Amish roots while embracing a brighter, more playful aesthetic.
The design is visually striking without being overwhelming, making it suitable for a wide range of interiors.
With a finished size of 52 inches x 64 inches, Amish Echo Churn is ideal as a lap quilt, throw, or decorative accent, offering both warmth and vibrant personality.
This pattern works well with 5 inch squares and 2 1/2 inch strips.
