Indigo Calicos Snowball Quilt

$0.00
sold

A true classic beauty, this exquisitely made Snowball quilt is filled with an incredibly varied assortment of indigo calicos from the turn of the century. Made by an expert quilter, she is beautifully pieced and meticulously quilted. Thin and lightweight, she’s a lovely piece for the summer. She has been washed by hand and is in great overall condition, but does have a few small light yellow stains and one tiny hole as shown in the last couple photos. This will be a quilt that you will love reaching for all summer long as you catch up on your summer reading. 

Measurements: 66” x 74.5”

$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.

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. Tax will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.

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 Hilliard House in Richmond, VA — an organization local to Flying Geese that provides short-term emergency shelter for children and adults who are on their way to a permanent home. For more information, see www.housingfamliiesfirst.org/hilliard-house-emergency-shelter/

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.
