Eight Point Star Quilt – Queen

$779.00

Measures 102″x 100″ 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! Black and tan stars alternate throughout the quilt to give it a continuous pattern. The Eight-Point Star quilt has a scalloped slate border all the way around and is very neatly hand-quilted by one Amish lady, which insures uniform stitches in all 294 yards of hand-quilting.

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 cover: it is also a masterpiece of artwork. The artists that develop our quilts select quality vibrant fabrics and arrange them in a captivating masterpiece. Select from our stock of over 2 hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly enhances your style.

While the fabric pieces are stitched together 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 guaranties both warmth and outstanding washing results.

Almost all of our quilts are generous enough to eliminate the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights differ, each quilt's sizing is different. We post the quilt's dimensions together with the calculated drop for you to compare to the sizing you want to have. Kindly do your homework before purchasing!

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

Over the centuries, various tactics have been perfected to make it more convenient for quilt-makers to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these techniques is named paper piecing, which is usually taken advantage of to compose the complicated angles of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it title specifies, uses a special paper pattern on top of which the material cuts are sewn. The pattern directs the quilter to perfectly stitch the pieces together so that the completed top will lie out evenly. Strategies of this sort as this are a tremendous help to our quilters!
