This Log Cabin Lone Star Quilt displays a stunning star in the center of the quilts pattern. The lovely Burgundy and Green fabrics compose an artful bed quilt. The quilt is generous enough in length so that one can use a simple pillow tuck rather than pillow shams. The generous width gives a drop measurement of 16 inches per side. The quilt is hand-quilted, initialed, and dated!
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 comfy bed covering: it is also a piece of artwork. The crafters who create our quilts pick high quality vibrant fabrics and organize them into an appealing work of art. Select from our stock of over 2 hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your style.
Though the fabric pieces are stitched with each other 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 in between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat and exceptional washing outcomes.
You will discover our quilts to be rather generous in length and width. As a matter of fact, almost all of our quilts are large enough to take care of the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights are different, each and every quilt's sizing is different. We list the quilt's measurements with the estimated drop for you to compare to the size you want to have. Definitely do your homework ahead of buying!Yes, our quilts are certainly washable in a washing machine! We recommend adhering to these standards for the best care of your heirloom quilt:
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.
