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 comfortable blanket: it is also a piece of art. The artisans that design our quilts select high quality vivid fabrics and arrange them into an eye-catching masterpiece. Pick from our selection of over 2 hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that best complements your taste.

While the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to guarantee tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those two layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat as well as outstanding washing results.

Almost all of our quilts are generous enough to reduce the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights are different, each quilt's sizing is different. We designate the quilt's measurements as well as the estimated drop for you to compare to the proportions you are looking for. Definitely do your measuring prior to purchasing!

Can you wash these quilts?

Yes, these quilts are indeed washable in a washing machine! We recommend complying with these standards for the best care of your heirloom quilt:

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

Over the centuries, numerous tactics have been developed to make it easier for quilt-makers to stitch multi-angled quilts together. One of these tactics is called paper piecing, which is routinely used to compose the intricate points of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it name specifies, uses a special paper pattern on top of which the material cuts are sewn. The pattern directs the quilter to correctly sew the pieces together so that the finished top will lie out flat. Methodologies such as this are an excellent help to our quilt-makers!
