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.

Amish Handmade Quilt Trivia

Over the centuries, various kinds of methodologies have been developed to make it much easier for quilt-makers to sew multi-angled quilts together. One of these tactics is called paper piecing, which is routinely adopted to assemble the complex corners of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it name specifies, uses a distinct paper pattern on top of which the fabric sections are stitched. The pattern leads the needleworker to accurately sew the pieces together so that the completed top will lie out flat. Techniques of this sort as this are a fantastic help to our quilt-makers!
