Lone Star Quilt – Queen

$649.00

The Lone Star Quilt boasts a beautiful lone star in the center with a few smaller star to accent the pillow tuck. Surrounded by a scalloped border, this beautiful heirloom was hand-quilted by Mrs. Samuel Zook using 226 yards of thread. She spent many hours carefully crafting this quilt to ensure even stitching and initialed and dated it once it was done. On a queen bed, this quilt will have an 17 inch drop per side.

Measures 94″ wide x 113″ long.

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.
