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 with 294 yards of thread 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 106″ 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 just a comfortable bed covering: it is also a piece of artwork. The artists that design our quilts pick high quality colorful materials and arrange them in a captivating work of art. Select from our selection of over two hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly complements your taste.

While the fabric pieces are sewn with each other by machine to make certain tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics compose 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 outcomes.

Just about all of our quilts are generous enough to take care of the need for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights are different, each quilt's dimensions is different. You'll find we post the quilt's dimensions along with the estimated drop for you to compare to the sizing you are looking for. Definitely do your homework ahead of making a purchase!

Are our quilts washable?

Fortunately, our quilts are indeed washable in a washing machine! We recommend adhering to these standards for ideal handling results:

Amish Homemade Quilt Trivia

Every step of the quilt-making process needs a specific woman's experience. Every one of our ladies specializes in either assembling or quilting. At least 2 ladies are involved in making each quilt. The women who sew the tops together specialize in piecing particular quilt patterns. Since each quilter's stitches differ, just one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system allows each woman to become an expert in her work.
