Fall Flowers Sawtooth Square Quilt
A gorgeous and unusual 19th century quilt, the maker of this beauty created a striking contrast between the red and green sawtooth square frames and the soft, organic floral background. The turkey red triangles are meticulously pieced along the long strips of overdyed green. Take a look at some of the close-ups of the exquisite brown fabric to see the flowers woven throughout. This quilt would be a beautiful accent on a bed or folded over the side of a chair. She has been washed by hand and is in excellent condition with no particular issues to note on the front, and some light scattered staining throughout the back, many of them likely caused by cotton seeds and husks within the batting. A wonderful quilt to enjoy year round, as well as a great one to pull out during the holidays. Note a small number tag sewn to the back — she was once tagged by a quilt project or museum but that provenance has unfortunately been lost.
Measurements: 69.5” x 70”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.

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.
