The Twinkling Star Quilt is a beautiful pattern with one lone star in the center and many small stars arranged to twinkle around it. Star patterns are some of the oldest quilt patterns, but great precision is needed to make all the star points meet and lie flat! This quilt was hand-stitched with 343 yards of thread by one Amish lady to ensure uniform stitches. This quilt is initialed and dated. On a queen bed, this quilt will have a 18 inch drop.
Measures 96″ wide x 112″ long.

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.

Each step of the quilt-making process requires a certain lady's experience. Each of our ladies focuses on either piecing or quilting. For that reason, at the very least two ladies are entailed in making each quilt. The women that stitch the tops together specialize in piecing certain quilt patterns. Since each quilter's stitches differ, only one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system allows each lady to come to be an expert in her field.
