Broken Star – King

$845.00

Measures 112″ wide x 115″ long.

The Broken Star design is a large lone star placed inside a curved set of similar diamond-shaped blocks that encircle it and form half-stars. 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! The quilt includes an amazing 310 yards of hand-quilting by Mrs. Yoder. The Broken Star quilt measures generous enough in length to provide for a pillow tuck. Four miniature stars adorn the pillow top. On a king bed, the quilt will hang down about 17 inches 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.

Did you know?

For hundreds of years, many different tactics have been perfected to make it more convenient for quilters to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these methodologies is named paper piecing, which is popularly applied to compose the complex angles of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it name indicates, uses a distinct paper pattern on which the material cuts are stitched. The pattern directs the seamstress to perfectly sew the pieces together so that the completed top will lay out flat. Strategies such as this are a very good support to our quilt-makers!
