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 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 merely a cozy bedspread: it is also a masterpiece of art. The crafters that design our quilts choose top-notch colorful materials and organize them into an eye-catching work of art.

While the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to make certain tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, nonetheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both warmth as well as outstanding washing results.
Most of our quilts are large enough to overcome the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights vary, each quilt's sizing varies. You'll find we publish the quilt's dimensions as well as the determined drop for you to compare to the dimensions you want. Kindly do your research before buying!As a matter of fact, these quilts are certainly washable in a washing machine! We advise the following guidelines 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.
The term handmade is commonly made use of to define crafts produced by an artisan in contrast to a factory. Since it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is distinct. Not all the sewing in a hand-made quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter makes use of mechanical tools to develop his craftsmanship, our seamstresses make use of numerous tools to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her items with a rotating blade knife as well as sew them together on the sewing machine. The quilter collaborates with merely thimble, thread, and needle to quilt numerous little stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time as well as talent to create a thing distinctively for you.
