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 cozy bed cover: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artists who develop our quilts choose top-notch vivid materials and organize them into a captivating masterpiece. Choose from our stock of over two hundred handmade quilts for a quilt that best enhances your home design.

Although the pieces of fabric are sewn together by machine to make certain tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those two layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both warmth as well as excellent washing results.

Almost all of our quilts are generous enough to overcome the need for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights differ, each quilt's sizing varies. We designate the quilt's dimensions alongside the estimated drop for you to compare to the size you need. It is important to do your measuring ahead of your purchase!

Are our quilts washable?

As a matter of fact, our quilts are indeed machine-washable! We advise adhering to these standards for the best care of your heirloom quilt:

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

Over the centuries, many different solutions have been developed to make it less complicated for quilt-makers to stitch multi-angled quilts together. One of these methods is named paper piecing, which is generally applied to compose the intricate corners of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it title signifies, uses an unique paper pattern on top of which the cloth cuts are stitched. The pattern guides the needleworker to correctly stitch the pieces together so that the finished top will lie out evenly. Methodologies such as this are a fabulous support to our quilters!
