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.

Frugality Creating Beauty: How Scrap Quilts Developed

Scrap quilts are called a variety of different names, each a thread connected to quilters years ago who first used this pattern.

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.

Amish Homemade Quilt Facts

Few folks understand the extent of time and monotonous workmanship involved in producing a quilt. Quilt-making is a process which make take five to nine months to finalize. Building a quilt requires designing, scissoring, piecing, quilting, and binding. In all, the full amount of time to finish one quilt totals roughly 200 to 300 hours.

A quilt is not merely a cozy bed cover: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artisans who create our quilts pick top quality colorful materials and organize them in an attractive work of art. Choose from our stock of over two hundred Amish homemade quilts for a quilt that best enhances your home design.

Though the fabric pieces are stitched together by machine to make certain tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials compose 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 and also outstanding washing results.

You will find our quilts to be reasonably sizable in length and width. As a matter of fact, almost all of our quilts are generous enough to eliminate the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights differ, each quilt's sizing differs as well. We designate the quilt's measurements in conjunction with the calculated drop for you to compare to the overall size you are trying to find. Kindly do your homework before your purchase!

Can you wash these quilts?

Yes, our quilts are indeed washable in a washing machine! We recommend the following guidelines for ideal handling results:

Did you know?

Over the centuries, all sorts of techniques have been developed to make it much easier for quilters to stitch multi-angled quilts together. One of these strategies is called paper piecing, which is routinely employed to compose the elaborate edges of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it title specifies, uses a special paper pattern onto which the cloth sections are stitched. The pattern directs the quilter to perfectly sew the pieces together so that the completed top will lay out flat. Strategies such as this are a fantastic aid to our quilters!
