Summer Sunlight Triple Irish Chain Quilt
Pattern: Triple Irish Chain
Date: c. 1910
Provenance/Notes:
This quilt is like a walk through a field of wildflowers on a sunny day. Little yellow squares are scattered amidst the wide array of soft, earth colored fabrics and punctuated here and there by deep indigos.
The background fabric is a sweet white calico with a charming black microprint
Light but with a layer of batting that gives her substance
Maker/origin unknown; hails from Ohio
Washed by hand and in great condition with a few squares that have been expertly replaced with period fabric and a very faint residual staining in a few places of the background white calico (hardly noticeable, see last photo)
Measurements: 72” x 74”
$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.
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.
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the YWCA Queens. For more, see ywca.org
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.
