The Eight-Point Star quilt is an intricate star pattern that traditionally allowed a woman to showcase her needlework skills. Precision is extremely important in piecing stars for a neat finished product! Out of the hundreds of star patterns, one of most popular is the Eight-Point Star. The Eight-Point Star quilt has a scalloped border all the way around and is very neatly hand-quilted by one Amish lady, which insures uniform stitches in 236 yards of hand-quilting. On a queen sized bed, this quilt will allow 20 inches of drop.

Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA. Every homemade quilt is as unique as the family, busy mother or Amish ladies group who uses a needle and thimble to thread stitch on the quilt. Some quilts involve hundreds of hours and thousands of stitches to create a unique patchwork quilt that will last for generations.

A quilt is not merely a relaxing bedspread: it is also a masterpiece of artwork. The artists who develop our quilts choose top quality vivid fabrics and arrange them into a distinct masterpiece. Pick from our selection of over two hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that best enhances your taste.

Although the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to guarantee tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those two layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat as well as exceptional washing outcomes.

You will discover our quilts to be reasonably large in length and width. Almost all of our quilts are generous enough to reduce the necessity for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights are different, each quilt's overall size can be different as well. We list the quilt's measurements along with the calculated drop for you to compare to the measurements you want. It is important to do your research ahead of purchasing!

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

Each step of the quilt-making process calls for a specific lady's experience. Each of our women focuses on either assembling or quilting. As a result, at the very least two ladies are involved in making each quilt. The women who sew the tops together concentrate on assembling specific quilt patterns. Because each quilter's stitches vary, only one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system permits each lady to become an expert in her work.
