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.

Over the centuries, many types of methods have been perfected to make it easier for quilt-makers to sew multi-angled quilts together. One of these strategies is called paper piecing, which is regularly applied to put together the elaborate angles of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it name signifies, uses an unique paper pattern onto which the fabric sections are sewn. The pattern leads the needleworker to perfectly assemble the pieces together so that the finished top will lay out flat. Solutions such as this are a marvelous support to our quilters!
