Fire Island Hosta Quilt – King

The Fire Island Hosta quilt is an exquisite piece of artwork done by Lancaster's fine quilters. This king quilt features a scalloped border and 474 yards of hand-quilting. Many hours of detailed work by skilled hands produced this quilt. The quilt is initialed and dated. On a king bed this quilt will allow 17 inches of drop per side.

A quilt is not just a relaxing bedspread: it is also a piece of artwork. The crafters that make our quilts select quality vibrant fabrics and organize them in a distinct masterpiece. Select from our selection of over 2 hundred Amish homemade quilts for a quilt that best complements your home design.

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

Most of our quilts are generous enough to reduce the necessity for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights differ, each quilt's dimensions is different. You'll find we specify the quilt's measurements with the estimated drop for you to compare to the proportions you are trying to find. Definitely do your measuring before buying!

Washing Quilts?

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

• Wash in a washing machine with completely cold water on gentle cycle.
• Use light laundry soap, such as liquid Cheer for colors (No bleach or bleach alternatives. No Woolite or fabric softener.) For the very first washing, add 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 tbsps of salt along with the laundry detergent. This natural remedy prevents hemorrhage and assists in establishing the colors in your quilt.
• Remove quilt when the washing machine quits to reduce wrinkles as well as color-bleeding.
• Never put a quilt into the clothes dryer! Line dry on a windy day.
• Quilts could be dry-cleaned at your own risk, but we definitely suggest washing.
