Eight Point Star Quilt – King

$798.00

The Eight-Point Star Quilt is an intricate star pattern that traditionally allowed a woman to showcase her needlework skills. Precision is extremely important in piecing stars for a neat finished product! Out of the hundreds of star patterns, one of the most popular is the Eight-Point Star. It includes a scalloped black border and almost 400 yards of hand quilting done by only one Pennsylvania Amish or Mennonite woman to ensure even stitching. On a king bed, this quilt will have 18 inches of drop per side.

Measures 114″ x 115″ long.

 

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 comfy bed cover: it is also a piece of artwork. The artisans that develop our quilts choose top quality vibrant fabrics and arrange them into an eye-catching masterpiece. Pick from our stock of over two hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly enhances your style.

While the fabric pieces are stitched together by machine to guarantee tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton materials compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those two layers, nonetheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat as well as exceptional washing results.

Just about all of our quilts are sizable enough to relieve the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights differ, each quilt's measurements differs. You'll find we specify the quilt's dimensions along with the calculated drop for you to compare to the proportions you may need. Please do your homework ahead of your purchase!

Did you know?

Over the centuries, various kinds of techniques have been developed to make it less complicated for quilt-makers to sew multi-angled quilts together. One of these tactics is called paper piecing, which is usually used to piece the complicated angles of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it name designates, uses a specific paper pattern on top of which the material cuts are sewn. The pattern guides the needleworker to successfully sew the pieces together so that the finalized top will lay out evenly. Methodologies of this sort as this are a fabulous aid to our quilt-makers!
