Ancient Star – Queen

$775.00

Measures 96″ x 108″

The Ancient Star quilt is handmade by a Pennsylvania Amish woman. The star pattern is of the oldest and most familiar of all the traditional quilt patterns, but great precision is needed to make all the star points meet and lie flat! This Ancient Star king size quilt is sewn in antique colors of navy, green, burgundy, and tan. The quilt is hand-quilted with love by one Pennsylvania lady to insure uniform stitches. On a queen-size bed, this quilt will have approximately 18 inches of drop per side.

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.

Amish Homemade Quilt Trivia

Over the centuries, quite a number of solutions have been cultivated to make it easier for quilt-makers to stitch multi-angled quilts together. One of these methodologies is called paper piecing, which is generally taken advantage of to combine the challenging edges of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it title illustrates, uses a distinct paper pattern on which the fabric segments are stitched. The pattern leads the needleworker to accurately stitch the pieces together so that the finished top will lie out evenly. Methodologies of this sort as this are an excellent aid to our quilters!
