Shadow Star Quilt-Queen

$720.00

Measures 98″ x 112″ long.

The Shadow Star Quilt is handmade by a Pennsylvania Amish woman. Since it is quilted by one lady, the stitches are all uniform with 222 yards of hand-quilting. The Shadow Star quilt measures generous enough in length and width to eliminate a bed skirt and to provide for a pillow tuck. On a queen bed, this quilt will have approximately 19 inches of drop 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.

Although the fabric pieces are sewn with each other by machine to ensure 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 two layers, nonetheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat as well as exceptional washing results.

Did you know?

Over the centuries, numerous tactics have been cultivated to make it much simpler for quilters to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these methodologies is paper piecing, which is often times taken advantage of to put together the intricate edges of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it title implies, uses a specific paper pattern onto which the cloth cuts are sewn. The pattern guides the needleworker to successfully stitch the pieces together so that the completed top will lay out evenly. Strategies of this sort as this are a great support to our quilt-makers!
