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 298 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 20.5 inches of drop per side.

Measures 101″ 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 merely a cozy bedspread: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artisans who design our quilts pick quality vibrant fabrics and arrange them in an appealing masterpiece. Choose from our stock of over two hundred Amish homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your style.

While the pieces of fabric are stitched with each other 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 between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat as well as superb washing outcomes.

Just about all of our quilts are sizable enough to overcome the need for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as mattress heights vary, each quilt's measurements varies. We designate the quilt's measurements as well as the calculated drop for you to compare to the dimensions you want. It is important to do your research ahead of your purchase!

Are our quilts washable?

Fortunately, these quilts are certainly washable in a washing machine! We suggest the following standards for ideal handling results:
