Eight Point Star Quilt-Queen

$779.00

Measures 102″ x 110″ long.

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 most popular is the Eight-Point Star. The Eight-Point Star quilt has a scalloped border all the way around and is very neatly hand-quilted by one Amish lady, which insures uniform stitches in 303 yards of hand-quilting. On a queen sized bed, this quilt will allow 21 inches of drop.

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 bed covering: it is also a piece of art. The crafters that make our quilts select top-notch colorful fabrics and arrange them into a creative work of art. Select from our selection of over two hundred handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly complements your taste.

Although the pieces of fabric are stitched 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 as well as excellent washing results.

Just about all of our quilts are sizable enough to overcome the necessity for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as mattress heights are different, each quilt's sizing is different. We post the quilt's measurements together with the estimated drop for you to compare to the size you may need. Please do your homework ahead of buying!

Washing Quilts?

Yes, these quilts are indeed washable in a washing machine! We suggest the following standards for the best care of your heirloom quilt:

Did you know?

For hundreds of years, various sorts of methods have been perfected to make it much simpler for quilt-makers to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these solutions is called paper piecing, which is typically adopted to assemble the intricate edges of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it name specifies, uses an unique paper pattern on which the cloth segments are sewn. The pattern helps the needleworker to accurately sew the pieces together so that the finalized top will lay out flat. Procedures such as this are an excellent help to our quilt-makers!
