Homemade quilts combine the warmth of a bed cover with a unique story told by the quilters from Lancaster County, PA.

Amish Homemade Quilt Trivia

Over the centuries, a lot of strategies have been perfected to make it more convenient for quilters to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these methods is paper piecing, which is nearly always used to piece the intricate points of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it title signifies, uses a distinct paper pattern onto which the material fragments are sewn. The pattern directs the needleworker to perfectly stitch the pieces together so that the finalized top will lie out evenly. Methodologies of this sort as this are a tremendous support to our quilters!
