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.

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 merely a cozy blanket: it is also a masterpiece of artwork. The artisans who design our quilts select top quality vivid fabrics and organize them in a distinct work of art. Select from our selection of over 2 hundred Amish homemade quilts for a quilt that best matches your home design.

While the pieces of fabric are stitched by machine to make certain tighter stitching, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics make up the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched between those 2 layers, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat as well as superb washing results.

Just about all of our quilts are sizable enough to overcome the necessity for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights are different, each quilt's proportions can be different. We designate the quilt's measurements with the estimated drop for you to compare to the size you need. Please do your research ahead of buying!

Can you wash these quilts?

Yes, these quilts are indeed machine-washable! We advise the following guidelines for best results:

Amish Homemade Quilt Facts

The term handmade is generally used to define crafts created by a craftsman instead of a factory. Because it is not mass-produced, each handmade quilt is special. Nonetheless, not all the sewing in a hand-made quilt is done by hand. Just as the woodcrafter makes use of mechanical devices to produce his craftsmanship, our seamstresses utilize different devices to craft these quilts. The seamstress cuts her pieces with a rotating blade knife and also stitch them together on the sewing machine. The quilter collaborates with merely thimble, needle, and also string to quilt hundreds of small stitches throughout the quilt. Handmade is a gift: it is the gift of time and also ability to create a product distinctively for you.
