Pattern: Carol’s Scrap Time
Date: c. 1870-1880
Provenance/Notes:
A stunning, romantic quilt with an incredible amount of detail, made with a scrappy assortment of mostly brown 19th century fabrics with little peeks of pink, orange, blue and green, all against a sunny yellow calico background
Notice the small-scale triangular blocks that echo the larger ones. They measure a mere 4.5” wide!
A wonderful zigzag border frames the quilt, and the back is made from a gorgeous floral blue and brown fabric, which has been turned by hand to make the trim
Double line quilting runs throughout much of the quilt
Maker/origin unknown; hails from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
This quilt has been loved and has some signs of this — 40 out of 800 larger triangles have some degree of wear, and there are a few blemishes and residual stains on yellow fabric (see last photo). But she has been washed by hand and has so much life and joy left for her new owner!
Measurements: 79” x 96”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of the Tahiri Justice Center, a national, nonprofit organization that serves immigrant survivors fleeing gender-based violence, an organization we are now supporting for a third year in a row. For more about their work, please visit www.tahiri.org
SHIPPING: $20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. Price for smaller items have been adjusted (lowered) to account for the lower shipping cost. Taxes will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
International customers: If you enter a shipping address outside of the US, you will not be charged for shipping upon checkout. A separate invoice will be sent once shipping is calculated. If you need a shipping estimate, please reach out ahead of time. Orders may be subject to VAT/customs fee of the destination country. Please see www.flyinggeese.co/faqs for more information on shipping.
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.
