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.

While the fabric pieces are stitched by machine to guarantee 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, nevertheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both warmth and outstanding washing results.

Just about all of our quilts are large enough to reduce the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as mattress heights are different, each quilt's proportions varies. You'll find we post the quilt's dimensions along with the estimated drop for you to compare to the dimensions you may need. Kindly do your homework before purchasing!

For hundreds of years, all sorts of strategies have been perfected to make it much easier for quilt-makers to sew multi-angled quilts together. One of these tactics is paper piecing, which is very often taken advantage of to combine the elaborate points of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it title signifies, uses an unique paper pattern on top of which the material sections are sewn. The pattern helps the quilter to successfully stitch the pieces together so that the finalized top will lay out evenly. Techniques such as this are a great help to our quilt-makers!
