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.

Amish Handmade Quilt Facts

For hundreds of years, various kinds of methods have been produced to make it much easier for quilters to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these methodologies is named paper piecing, which is very often taken advantage of to put together the intricate angles of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it name suggests, uses a special paper pattern on top of which the cloth fragments are stitched. The pattern directs the quilter to correctly assemble the pieces together so that the completed top will lay out evenly. Methodologies of this sort as this are a marvelous support to our quilters!
