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 comfortable blanket: it is also a masterpiece of art. The artisans that make our quilts choose high quality vibrant fabrics and arrange them into a creative work of art. Select from our selection of over two hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly complements your style.

While the pieces of fabric are stitched together by machine to guarantee tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting guaranties both warmth and also excellent washing results.

You will discover our quilts to be reasonably sizable in length and width. In fact, nearly all of our quilts are sizable enough to relieve the need for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights vary, each and every quilt's measurements differs. You'll find we list the quilt's dimensions in conjunction with the calculated drop for you to compare to the proportions you want. It is important to do your measuring before your purchase!

Are our quilts washable?

As a matter of fact, these quilts are certainly machine-washable! We recommend the following guidelines for the best care of your heirloom quilt:

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

For hundreds of years, an array of techniques have been cultivated to make it simpler for quilt-makers to sew multi-angled quilts together. One of these solutions is named paper piecing, which is very often applied to put together the complicated corners of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it title indicates, uses a special paper pattern onto which the material pieces are sewn. The pattern directs the quilter to perfectly assemble the pieces together so that the finalized top will lay out evenly. Strategies such as this are a great support to our quilters!
