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 many 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.
Measures 98″ x 114″ 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 relaxing bed cover: it is also a piece of artwork. The artisans who create our quilts select quality colorful fabrics and arrange them into a creative masterpiece. Pick from our selection of over two hundred Amish homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly complements your style.
Although the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to guarantee tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched in between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat and outstanding washing results.
Almost all of our quilts are sizable enough to eliminate the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights vary, each quilt's overall size differs. We post the quilt's measurements in addition to the calculated drop for you to compare to the dimensions you want. Please do your measuring prior to your purchase!Fortunately, these quilts are undoubtedly machine-washable! We advise adhering to these standards for best results:
