Eight Point Star – Queen

$820.00

The Eight Point Star Quilt is an intricate star pattern that traditionally allowed a woman to showcase her needlework skills. Precision is extremely important in piecing stars for a neat finished product! Out of the hundreds of star patterns, one of the most popular is the Eight Point Star. It includes a scalloped border and many yards of hand quilting. This beautiful quilt was hand-quilted with 398 yards of thread by one Amish or Mennonite woman to ensure uniform stitching and is initialed and dated. On a queen bed, this quilt will have 20 inches of drop per side.

Measures 101″ x 114″ 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 just a relaxing bed cover: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artisans who develop our quilts choose top quality vivid fabrics and arrange them in a creative masterpiece. Pick from our selection of over 2 hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that best complements your taste.

Although the fabric pieces are sewn with each other by machine to ensure tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched in between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat and also outstanding washing results.

Almost all of our quilts are sizable enough to eliminate the need for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights are different, each quilt's overall size can be different. You'll find we specify the quilt's dimensions with the estimated drop for you to compare to the overall size you want to have. Please do your measuring before making a purchase!

Are our quilts washable?

As a matter of fact, our quilts are undoubtedly machine-washable! We suggest complying with these standards for ideal handling results:

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

Every step of the quilt-making process calls for a certain lady's proficiency. Every one of our ladies concentrates on either piecing or quilting. Consequently, at least 2 ladies are associated with making each quilt. The women that sew the tops together focus on assembling certain quilt patterns. Since each quilter's stitches are different, just one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system permits each woman to come to be a specialist in her field.
