Pattern: Flower Garden

A wonderful iteration of the Flower Garden pattern on a slightly larger scale with three (instead of the more common two) rings of petals around the beautiful white flower center
The color scheme of pastels is beautifully distributed. Notice the flower centers are made of a sweet yellow calico fabric.
Two of her edges are scalloped, and the quilt is trimmed in a lovely pink fabric.
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in excellent condition
Measurements: 73” x 79” (measured from inside of scallop — 67” x 79”)

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.
