Pattern: Ocean Waves
Date: c. 1930-1940
Provenance/Notes:
Such a wonderfully vibrant and modern aesthetic in a quilt that is almost 100 years old!
Made with a bright and vibrant orange fabric against a crisp white background with a pattern that comes all the way to the edges of the quilt
The back is made of a natural, cream colored muslin fabric which is lovely to the touch
A great size for a twin bed, but also small enough to drape over the back of a sofa or take on the go
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in very good condition with just some tiny residual spots on a few places, mostly along the edge — nothing dark. One very small open seam. (See last photo.)
Measurements: 67” x 83”
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/

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.
