Lemoyne Star Blues Quilt
Pattern: Lemoyne Star
Date: c. 1880-1900
Provenance/Notes:
An stunning piece for the collector or someone looking for a centerpiece for their bedroom or wall, this Lemoyne Star quilt is a fabric lover’s dream
Each of the 72 blocks — not one the same — is worthy of a frame for the beauty of its construction and selection of fabric
Included in the variety of fabrics are many old indigos, which have developed a rich patina over time, as well as shirtings, calicos, and conversation print fabrics (note the horse fabric!)
The background fabric is a very fine light blue stripe and the quilt is backed with a light blue gingham check fabric
Maker and origin unknown; hails from Ohio
Washed by hand and in great condition for her age, with just a couple blocks that have a bit of fabric wear (see last photo) and just a touch of discoloration from handling over time, mostly along the edges
Measurements: 75” x 84”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of the Sewing Society at St. Joseph’s Children’s Home in Louisville, Kentucky, whose members use their sewing skills to raise money for the orphanage, both by creating fundraiser quilts and mending worn items. For more on their wonderful work, see https://sjkids.org/get-involved/sewing-society/
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.
