This Stars in Common Amish Quilt measures  101 x 111 inches  and fits a Queen bed.  The batting in this Stars in Common Quilt is 100% cotton batting, which makes it a heavier quilt and not as fluffy. After its first washing, the cotton batting will give a wonderful old fashioned look to the quilt.  The background fabric is a white with paisley swirls, and the central Lone Star is a collection of yellows, olives and tans.  A beautiful quilt on a background of patterned white fabric.  The quilting pencil marking is very visible on this top (but it will wash out).  Stars in Common Amish Quilt was handquilted by Denita S, a Mennonite Quilter  in Lancaster County PA, and there are approximately 6 handquilted stitches per inch.

Denita S has a house full with six boys, so the peace and quiet that reigns during quilting makes it a special time for her.  When Denita quilts, she is creating an heirloom of beauty, and you can sense the peace that she brings to the quilting frame with the colors of the quilted pallet.  Denita S is one of our Mennonite Quilters.
