Eight Point Star Quilt – King

$798.00

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 black border and almost 400 yards of hand quilting done by only one Pennsylvania Amish or Mennonite woman to ensure even stitching. On a king bed, this quilt will have 18 inches of drop per side.

Measures 114″ x 115″ 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 cozy bed covering: it is also a masterpiece of artwork. The crafters that design our quilts pick high quality colorful materials and organize them in a captivating work of art. Pick from our selection of over 2 hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your home design.

Though the pieces of fabric are stitched together by machine to ensure tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both warmth and exceptional washing outcomes.

You will find our quilts to be remarkably sizable in length and width. Most of our quilts are generous enough to do away with the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights differ, each quilt's sizing can be different as well. You'll find we publish the quilt's dimensions as well as the calculated drop for you to compare to the size you are looking for. It is important to do your research prior to purchasing!

Washing Quilts?

Fortunately, our quilts are certainly machine-washable! We recommend complying with these standards for ideal handling results:
