The Star Wedding Ring quilt is a new twist to a traditional pattern. Gray and blue stars burst from between the intertwined blue and white rings. This handmade quilt is very neatly hand-quilted with 326 yards of thread. This quilt is dated by its designer. On a queen bed, this quilt will have a 21-inch 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.

Called a “charm” quilt in the late 19th century, young women collected hundreds of different fabrics from their family and friends. Perhaps if they collected 999 different squares, their true love would bring them the thousandth–and their happily-ever-after dream, too. One quilting blogger speculates that collecting these fabrics may have given girls opportunities to ask their love interest for a contribution!
The scrap quilt has also been called a “beggar” quilt, referring to quilters asking each other for contributions to their projects. Trying to put together a bedspread without repeating every fabric, they also called the quilts “odd feller” quilts–every piece was an odd feller. Some families recall their mother repeating one square, however, so that a child sick in bed might be entertained looking for the matching patches.
Still another name scrap quilts went by is the “postage stamp” quilt, so called because quilters would use their tiniest scraps, sometimes no bigger than a postage stamp. Perhaps the original motivation was not wasting the smallest piece (historians recall the scarcity of the Great Depression in this), but it also became a challenge at some point. Quilters would collect thousands of pieces to compete with each other in making stitched masterpieces.
A quilt is not just a comfy bed cover: it is also a piece of artwork. The artists who develop our quilts pick top-notch vivid fabrics and arrange them into a creative masterpiece. Pick from our stock of over 2 hundred handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly enhances your home design.
While the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to ensure tighter stitching, 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 two layers, nonetheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat as well as outstanding washing outcomes.
Just about all of our quilts are large enough to overcome the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights are different, each quilt's overall size varies. You'll find we specify the quilt's measurements in conjunction with the calculated drop for you to compare to the overall size you want. Please do your homework ahead of buying!Yes, these quilts are undoubtedly washable in a washing machine! We recommend adhering to these standards for ideal handling results:
