Indigo Star Window Quilt
So fancy is the world, who knows, maybe the stars sing too
-Mary Oliver / from This World
A masterly quilted crisp eight-point star quilt made with a beautiful assortment of indigo calicoes, this quilt from the turn of the century was made by women in the Lester family of North Argyle, New York. Master quilters they were — the piecing on this quilt is incredible. She’s structurally in excellent condition and has been thoroughly washed by hand and hung to dry. It seems that a couple different types of cream fabric were used as one of them aged to a slightly different shade. A few very light stains remain, but not very noticeable. A light smattering of stains on the back. See photos. She is an heirloom to pass down to the next generation and will make a incredible graphic indigo accent in her new home.
Measurements: 65.5” x 79”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
15% of profits from this sale will go towards Tubman’s Hopetober campaign during domestic violence awareness month. Tubman provides safe shelter, legal services, mental and chemical health counseling, youth programming, and community education throughout the Twin Cities. See tubman.org for more information on their important work.
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.
