The Fire Island Hosta quilt is an exquisite piece of artwork done by Lancaster's fine quilters. This king quilt features a scalloped border and 474 yards of hand-quilting. Many hours of detailed work by skilled hands produced this quilt. The quilt is initialed and dated. On a king bed this quilt will allow 17 inches of drop per side.

A quilt is not merely a cozy bedspread: it is also a piece of artwork. The crafters who develop our quilts pick high quality vivid materials and arrange them into an eye-catching masterpiece. Pick from our selection of over two hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your home design.

Though the fabric pieces are stitched by machine to make certain tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched in between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both warmth as well as exceptional washing results.

Almost all of our quilts are sizable enough to reduce the necessity for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as mattress heights differ, each quilt's dimensions varies. We post the quilt's dimensions together with the calculated drop for you to compare to the measurements you want to have. Kindly do your measuring before making a purchase!

Washing Quilts?

• Machine wash with cold water on delicate cycle.
• Use only mild laundry soap, such as liquid Cheer for colors (No bleach or bleach alternatives. No Woolite or fabric softener.) For the very first washing, include 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt along with the laundry soap.
