Pattern: Broken Dishes Double Nine Patch
Date: c. 1900
Details:
an exquisite iteration of the Broken Dishes pattern with tiny blocks, arranged in a Double Nine Patch design, against the prettiest double pink backgrounds studded with daisies
notice how the use of the same double pink fabric in the negative spaces of the blocks creates a chain effect across the quilt
the Broken Dishes blocks are accented in a variety of indigos and blacks, with white shirting backgrounds in stripes and dots
lovely rounded corners
beautifully quilted in small, meticulous stitches in a diagonal grid pattern
washed by hand and in excellent condition
Provenance: unknown
Measurements: 70” x 79”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of the Safelight, a domestic violence organization based out of Hendersonville, NC that provides a shelter and job training for domestic violence survivors/victims. Part of their job training program involves educating the survivors in sewing skills so that they can use their creativity to help support their families financially. For more on their wonderful work, see https://safelightfamily.org/

Note on antique/vintage quilts: Many of the quilts we sell have been loved, slept under, washed, sunshine dried, taken on picnics, slept on underneath the stars, and lived lifetimes before arriving at our doorstep. You can expect to see repairs made by later generations, fraying around the edges or in certain blocks, discoloration or yellowing, cotton/wool batting—or as we like to call them, tiny sheep—peeking through. They are imperfect, but their imperfections are charming to us and we hope you feel the same. They are reminders to us of their old age and the history to which they've been a witness. We try our best to note any imperfections, but it’s possible we might miss one here and there. Well-crafted, handmade antique quilts in their original form are becoming scarcer, and we believe it's vital that we preserve them and continue to love them, imperfections and all.
Because these quilts are one-of-a-kind and we are a tiny enterprise, we do not accept returns; please review all photos and the description carefully and ask any questions you may have prior to purchasing.
