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 relaxing bedspread: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artisans that develop our quilts select top quality vibrant fabrics and arrange them in an attractive masterpiece. Pick from our stock of over 2 hundred handmade quilts for a quilt that best enhances your style.

While the pieces of fabric are stitched with each other by machine to make sure 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 guaranties both heat and also excellent washing results.

Most of our quilts are sizable enough to reduce the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights are different, each quilt's dimensions is different. We list the quilt's measurements in conjunction with the calculated drop for you to compare to the measurements you may need. Please do your research before your purchase!

Did you know?

For hundreds of years, a lot of techniques have been cultivated to make it much easier for quilt-makers to stitch multi-angled quilts together. One of these solutions is paper piecing, which is very often adopted to put together the challenging angles of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it name signifies, uses an unique paper pattern onto which the fabric sections are sewn. The pattern guides the quilter to accurately stitch the pieces together so that the completed top will lay out evenly. Tactics such as this are a tremendous aid to our quilt-makers!
