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 merely a relaxing bedspread: it is also a piece of artwork. The artists who develop our quilts select top-notch colorful materials and arrange them in an attractive masterpiece. Pick from our stock of over 2 hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly enhances your taste.

While the pieces of fabric are sewn with each other by machine to make certain tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those two layers, nevertheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both warmth and excellent washing results.

Most of our quilts are sizable enough to take care of the need for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights differ, each quilt's measurements differs. You'll find we specify the quilt's measurements alongside the estimated drop for you to compare to the dimensions you may need. It is important to do your research ahead of your purchase!

Amish Handmade Quilt Facts

Each step of the quilt-making process requires a specific lady's proficiency. Every one of our women specializes in either assembling or quilting. At the very least two ladies are entailed in making each quilt. The women that stitch the tops with each other specialize in assembling specific quilt patterns. Considering that each quilter's stitches differ, just one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system allows each woman to end up being an expert in her work.
