Australian Peter Weir's first Hollywood film tells the story of John Book (Harrison Ford), a Philadelphia cop whose life is altered while trying to help Rachel (Kelly McGillis), an Amish woman, and her son Samuel (Lukas Haas), who witnesses a murder in a Philadelphia train station bathroom. After discovering that the murder was committed by a member of his force, Book travels to Lancaster County with Rachel and Samuel and poses as a member of the Amish community to hide from his murderous police peers. While there, love blooms between Rachel and Book, and he finds himself drawn in by the honesty and simplicity of the old-world Amish lifestyle. Fine performances and beautiful cinematography are prevalent throughout. Designed by Deb, the quilt is Amish-inspired, and beautiful in it's simplicity. An age-old pattern, the basket, is pieced in bright colors, and set on a black background. The inner border of bright star blocks frames the center block, and gives the quilt an added 'pop' of color. This is a wonderful quilt that is simple, fun, and striking! The finished quilt measures 61" x 61".
