A handmade Amish quilt can take 3 to 4 months (500 to 700 hours) to complete. When considering cost and value, remember that a productive quilter can only make 5 to 6 quilts per year. Furthermore, Amish quilts are heirlooms to be passed along from one generation to the next.

Log Cabin in the Round Amish Quilt

A quilt consists of the quilt top, the batting and the quilt backing. Quilt tops consist of hundreds (and in some cases, thousands) of sewn-together small pieces of fabric that create the desired quilt pattern. In the case of an Amish quilt, the quilt top, batting and quilt back are fused together by the celebrated Amish hand quilting. The finished product is a lightweight warm cover renowned for its beauty. Each is an absolutely unique quilt.
