Eight Point Star Quilt – Queen

$820.00

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 and is initialed and dated. On a queen bed, this quilt will have 20 inches of drop per side.

Measures 100″ x 112″ 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 merely a relaxing bedspread: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artisans that design our quilts pick top-notch vivid fabrics and organize them in an eye-catching masterpiece. Pick from our stock of over 2 hundred Amish homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your home design.

Although the fabric pieces are stitched with each other by machine to make certain tighter stitching, 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, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both warmth and also exceptional washing results.

Most of our quilts are large enough to eliminate the need for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights vary, each quilt's dimensions differs. You'll find we designate the quilt's measurements alongside the estimated drop for you to compare to the overall size you are looking for. Please do your homework before making a purchase!

Did you know?

The term handmade is generally utilized to describe crafts produced by an artisan instead of a manufacturing facility. Each handmade quilt is one-of-a-kind since it is not mass-produced. Not all the sewing in a hand-crafted quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter utilizes mechanical tools to create his workmanship, our seamstresses utilize different tools to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her items with a rotary knife and also stitch them with each other on the sewing machine. The quilter collaborates with just thread, thimble, as well as needle to quilt numerous little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and also skill to develop a thing uniquely for you.
