Ancient Star Quilt – King

$765.00

The Ancient Star Quilt is handmade by a Pennsylvania Amish woman. The star pattern is one 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! The quilt is all hand-quilted by one lady to insure uniform stitches and is initialed and dated. On a king bed, this quilt will have approximately 18.5 inches of drop.

Measures 115″ wide x 116″ long.

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 only a comfortable bed cover: it is also a masterpiece of art. The crafters that develop our quilts choose high quality vibrant materials and organize them into a captivating work of art. Choose from our selection of over two hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly complements your home design.

While the pieces of fabric are stitched together by machine to guarantee tighter sewing, 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 guaranties both warmth and excellent washing outcomes.

Almost all of our quilts are large enough to overcome the need for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights differ, each quilt's proportions differs. We specify the quilt's measurements alongside the calculated drop for you to compare to the dimensions you are looking for. Kindly do your homework prior to making a purchase!

Can you wash these quilts?

Fortunately, these quilts are indeed machine-washable! We recommend complying with these guidelines for ideal handling results:

Did you know?

For hundreds of years, quite a few techniques have been produced to make it simpler for quilters to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these strategies is called paper piecing, which is ordinarily taken advantage of to put together the challenging points of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it name designates, uses a distinct paper pattern on which the fabric sections are stitched. The pattern directs the quilter to correctly sew the pieces together so that the completed top will lay out flat. Procedures of this sort as this are a fabulous aid to our quilt-makers!
