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 comfortable bedspread: it is also a masterpiece of artwork. The crafters who make our quilts choose high quality vivid materials and organize them into an eye-catching masterpiece. Choose from our stock of over two hundred handmade quilts for a quilt that perfectly matches your taste.

Although the pieces of fabric are sewn together by machine to make certain 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, however, is 100% polyester. This polyester batting warranties both heat and also exceptional washing results.

Most of our quilts are large enough to reduce the need for a dust ruffle or pillow shams. Just as bed heights vary, each quilt's proportions can be different. You'll find we list the quilt's measurements along with the calculated drop for you to compare to the measurements you are trying to find. It is important to do your homework ahead of purchasing!

Washing Quilts?

Fortunately, these quilts are certainly machine-washable! We recommend adhering to these standards for the best care of your heirloom quilt:

Amish Homemade Quilt Trivia

Over the centuries, quite a number of procedures have been cultivated to make it less complicated for quilt-makers to stitch multi-angled quilts together. One of these strategies is called paper piecing, which is popularly adopted to assemble the elaborate points of the Mariner's Compass quilts. Paper piecing, as it name suggests, uses a distinct paper pattern on top of which the material segments are stitched. The pattern directs the quilter to accurately stitch the pieces together so that the finished top will lie out evenly. Tactics of this sort as this are an excellent help to our quilt-makers!
