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 border and over 298 yards of hand quilting. This beautiful quilt was hand-quilted by one Amish or Mennonite woman to ensure uniform stitching. On a queen bed, this quilt will have 19 inches of drop per side.

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.

Though the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to make sure tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, nonetheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both warmth as well as excellent washing results.

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

Over the centuries, quite a few procedures have been produced to make it much simpler for quilt-makers to stitch multi-angled quilts together. One of these tactics is paper piecing, which is often times taken advantage of to combine the complex edges of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it name indicates, uses a special paper pattern on which the material cuts are stitched. The pattern helps the quilter to accurately assemble the pieces together so that the finished top will lay out evenly. Methods such as this are a tremendous help to our quilters!
