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 with 298 yards of thread by one Amish or Mennonite woman to ensure uniform stitching and is initialed and dated. On a queen bed, this quilt will have 20.5 inches of drop per side.

Measures 101″ 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 just a comfy bed covering: it is also a masterpiece of artwork. The artists who make our quilts choose top quality colorful materials and arrange them into a distinct work of art. Select from our selection of over 2 hundred homemade quilts for a quilt that perfectly enhances your style.

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

You will find our quilts to be remarkably large in length and width. In fact, nearly all of our quilts are generous enough to overcome the need for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights vary, each and every quilt's sizing differs. You'll find we publish the quilt's dimensions in addition to the calculated drop for you to compare to the sizing you want to have. Please do your measuring prior to your purchase!

Are our quilts washable?

Fortunately, our quilts are certainly washable in a washing machine! We recommend the following standards for best results:

Did you know?

Each step of the quilt-making process needs a specific woman's know-how. Each of our ladies specializes in either assembling or quilting. Consequently, a minimum of 2 ladies are associated with making each quilt. The women who stitch the tops together specialize in piecing certain quilt patterns. Because each quilter's stitches vary, only one lady does the quilting per quilt. This system permits each lady to end up being a professional in her field.
