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 only a cozy bed covering: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artists that develop our quilts choose top-notch vivid materials and organize them in a creative masterpiece. Choose from our stock of over two hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that best matches your taste.

Although the fabric pieces are stitched by machine to ensure 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 two layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat and excellent washing outcomes.

You will find our quilts to be relatively generous in length and width. The majority of our quilts are generous enough to minimize the necessity for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights differ, each quilt's dimensions differs. You'll find we specify the quilt's dimensions alongside the calculated drop for you to compare to the sizing you may need. Definitely do your homework ahead of your purchase!

Can you wash these quilts?

As a matter of fact, our quilts are indeed washable in a washing machine! We recommend the following guidelines for the best care of your heirloom quilt:
