The Fire Island Hosta quilt is an exquisite piece of artwork done by Lancaster's fine quilters. This king quilt features a scalloped border and 474 yards of hand-quilting. Many hours of detailed work by skilled hands produced this quilt. The quilt is initialed and dated. On a king bed this quilt will allow 17 inches of drop per side.

A quilt is not merely a cozy bed covering: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artists that create our quilts pick quality vibrant fabrics and arrange them into a distinct masterpiece. Select from our stock of over two hundred Amish homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly enhances your home design.

Although the fabric pieces are stitched together by machine to guarantee tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched in between those two layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both warmth and superb washing results.

Most of our quilts are generous enough to reduce the need for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights differ, each quilt's dimensions is different. We designate the quilt's measurements together with the determined drop for you to compare to the measurements you want to have. Kindly do your research before your purchase!

Washing Quilts?

Yes, our quilts are certainly machine-washable! We suggest complying with these guidelines for ideal handling results:

• Machine wash with completely cold water on gentle cycle.
• Use only light laundry soap, such as liquid Cheer for colors (No bleach or bleach alternatives. No Woolite or fabric softener.) For the first washing, include 1/2 cup vinegar as well as 2 tablespoons of salt in addition to the laundry soap. This natural home remedy stops hemorrhage as well as helps to establish the colors in your quilt.
• Remove quilt when the washer stops to decrease wrinkles and color-bleeding.
• Never put a quilt in the dryer! Line dry on a breezy day.
• Quilts could be dry-cleaned at your own risk, however we absolutely suggest washing.

Did you know?

Over the centuries, a lot of tactics have been developed to make it less complicated for quilt-makers to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these methodologies is called paper piecing, which is routinely used to compose the complicated points of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it title designates, uses a specific paper pattern on top of which the fabric cuts are sewn. The pattern directs the needleworker to successfully sew the pieces together so that the finished top will lie out flat. Tactics such as this are an effective help to our quilt-makers!
