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.

Over the centuries, a variety of methods have been produced to make it less complicated for quilters to sew multi-angled quilts together. One of these procedures is called paper piecing, which is commonly employed to piece the intricate corners of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it name implies, uses a special paper pattern on top of which the material pieces are stitched. The pattern leads the quilter to accurately stitch the pieces together so that the finalized top will lie out flat. Tactics such as this are an excellent help to our quilt-makers!
