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.

The Postage Stamp is a popular Scrap Quilt Pattern
Square and Applique Scraps compliment in this Country Hearts Quilt
A few Scrap Quilt variations.
Called a “charm” quilt in the late 19th century, young women collected hundreds of different fabrics from their family and friends. Perhaps if they collected 999 different squares, their true love would bring them the thousandth–and their happily-ever-after dream, too. One quilting blogger speculates that collecting these fabrics may have given girls opportunities to ask their love interest for a contribution!
The scrap quilt has also been called a “beggar” quilt, referring to quilters asking each other for contributions to their projects. Trying to put together a bedspread without repeating every fabric, they also called the quilts “odd feller” quilts–every piece was an odd feller. Some families recall their mother repeating one square, however, so that a child sick in bed might be entertained looking for the matching patches.
Still another name scrap quilts went by is the “postage stamp” quilt, so called because quilters would use their tiniest scraps, sometimes no bigger than a postage stamp. Perhaps the original motivation was not wasting the smallest piece (historians recall the scarcity of the Great Depression in this), but it also became a challenge at some point. Quilters would collect thousands of pieces to compete with each other in making stitched masterpieces.
Twin Sized Postage Stamp Quilt
Ancient Star is another Scrap Quilt Pattern
A color coordinated Scrap Quilt is an exquisite work of art!
My husband loves the ocean, we live 1 hour away, so I bought this quilt “for him”. Our bedroom has several nautical items in it and is painted a sea foam blue. We love it and we pray for the quilter of the Sailor’s compass quilt nightly.
Thanks! The quilt is gorgeous and we cherish it.
I really love this quilt. I have such a great appreciation for all the work that went into the making.
I just couldn’t leave Pennsylvania’s Amish Country without taking home a hand-quilted quilt from Family Farm Quilts. I looked through at least 50 options before deciding on this gorgeous Surf Song design.
I think it’s absolutely perfect in every way! <3
We LOVE our quilt. What could be better than a hand-made heart quilt for Valentine’s Day. It will come out of the closet in a couple weeks or so and I’ll send a picture. Thanks.
We absolutely LOVE our quilt!!! In fact, I have gone back to your site multiple times to see if I could find accent pillows and/or curtains to match!
Yes we absolutely love our quilt and use it daily. It was bought as a Christmas present to ourselves.
I love my new quilt. The colors are so pretty! Thank you all so much. I know there are a lot of hours spent on it. ?
We used one of the two quilts for our guest room.

Although the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to make sure tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials make up the top and bottom of the quilt.

You will find our quilts to be rather generous in length and width. In fact, the majority of our quilts are generous enough to eliminate the need for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as mattress heights are different, each quilt's dimensions is different as well. You'll find we designate the quilt's dimensions alongside the determined drop for you to compare to the dimensions you want. Please do your measuring prior to buying!Fortunately, these quilts are undoubtedly machine-washable! We suggest complying with these standards for best results:
The term handmade is commonly utilized to define crafts created by a craftsman rather than a factory. Each handmade quilt is distinct since it is not mass-produced. Not all the stitching in a handcrafted quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter uses mechanical devices to create his workmanship, our seamstresses make use of numerous devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotary knife as well as sew them with each other on the stitching machine. The quilter functions with just thread, thimble, as well as needle to quilt thousands of tiny stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and talent to develop a thing distinctively for you.
