Eight Point Star Quilt – Queen

$820.00

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 border and many yards of hand quilting. This beautiful quilt was hand-quilted by one Amish or Mennonite woman to ensure uniform stitching. On a queen bed, this quilt will have 21 inches of drop per side.

Measures 102″ x 110″ 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 merely a comfortable bed cover: it is also a piece of artwork. The crafters that design our quilts select top quality vivid materials and arrange them into an eye-catching masterpiece. Pick from our stock of over 2 hundred Amish handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your home design.

Although the fabric pieces are stitched with each other by machine to ensure tighter sewing, all the quilting is done by hand. 100% cotton fabrics compose the top and bottom of the quilt. The batting sandwiched in between those 2 layers, nonetheless, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat and excellent washing outcomes.

Almost all of our quilts are generous enough to overcome the necessity for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights vary, each quilt's overall size is different. We specify the quilt's dimensions as well as the determined drop for you to compare to the proportions you need. Please do your homework prior to making a purchase!

Did you know?

For hundreds of years, many different strategies have been produced to make it less complicated for quilt-makers to piece multi-angled quilts together. One of these solutions is called paper piecing, which is regularly applied to compose the elaborate points of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it name illustrates, uses a specific paper pattern on which the material sections are sewn. The pattern guides the quilter to perfectly stitch the pieces together so that the finished top will lie out flat. Procedures such as this are a very good support to our quilt-makers!
