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 19 inches of drop per side.

Measures 98″ x 114″ 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 only a comfy bed cover: it is also a piece of artwork. The artists who create our quilts pick high quality colorful materials and arrange them into an attractive masterpiece. Pick from our stock of over two hundred handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your taste.

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

The majority of our quilts are large enough to overcome the necessity for a dust ruffle and pillow shams. Just as bed heights differ, each quilt's dimensions can be different. We publish the quilt's measurements in conjunction with the determined drop for you to compare to the size you may need. Kindly do your homework prior to purchasing!

Amish Homemade Quilt Facts

Over the centuries, an array of procedures have been cultivated to make it easier for quilt-makers to sew multi-angled quilts together. One of these methods is called paper piecing, which is frequently taken advantage of to piece the complex points of the Mariner's Compass quilt. Paper piecing, as it name illustrates, uses a distinct paper pattern on which the fabric cuts are sewn. The pattern leads the seamstress to correctly assemble the pieces together so that the finished top will lie out evenly. Solutions such as this are a marvelous support to our quilters!
