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 475 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 17.5 inches of drop per side.

Measures 113″ 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 just a comfortable blanket: it is also a masterpiece of artwork. The crafters that create our quilts choose top quality vibrant fabrics and arrange them into an attractive masterpiece. Choose from our selection of over two hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that best enhances your home design.

While the pieces of fabric are stitched with each other 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 in between those two layers, nevertheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both heat and excellent washing results.

You will find our quilts to be remarkably large in length and width. The majority of our quilts are generous enough to eliminate the necessity for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as mattress heights vary, each and every quilt's size varies. We designate the quilt's dimensions in addition to the calculated drop for you to compare to the measurements you are trying to find. Kindly do your research prior to buying!

Amish Homemade Quilt Trivia

Each step of the quilt-making process requires a certain lady's know-how. Each of our women specializes in either assembling or quilting. For that reason, at the very least two ladies are included in making each quilt. The ladies who sew the tops together specialize in assembling specific quilt patterns. Given that each quilter's stitches differ, just one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system allows each woman to become an expert in her field.
