This Star Wedding Ring quilt is a stunning product of Lancaster County’s fine quilters. The original Wedding Ring pattern now has stars bursting from between the rings. Take a closer look at the border, and you will see that the scallops follow the form of the rings. The quilt is hand-quilted with 3352 yards of thread by one woman to ensure uniform stitching. On a king bed, choose your drop measurement of 17 inches per side.
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.

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.
A quilt is not only a comfy bedspread: it is also a masterpiece of artwork. The artists that develop our quilts choose quality vivid fabrics and arrange them into an attractive work of art. Pick from our stock of over two hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly enhances your style.
Though the fabric pieces are stitched with each other by machine to ensure tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched in between those 2 layers, nevertheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both warmth and also outstanding washing outcomes.
Most of our quilts are generous enough to eliminate the need for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights are different, each quilt's measurements is different. You'll find we post the quilt's measurements together with the estimated drop for you to compare to the proportions you want to have.
