Blooming Rose Appliqué Quilt
Pattern: Rose Appliqué
Date: c. 1890-1900
Provenance/Notes:
A beautiful, happy quilt to celebrate the arrival of spring with all her blooms
Nine lovely blocks fill the body of the quilt with five flowers on slender spring green stems and leaves; a border filled with more flowers and leaves frames the quilt, with yellow leaves that bring brightness to the whole piece
Notice that the flowers in the border are of a different construction than the ones in the center
Wonderful quilting throughout, with lots of leaf motifs in the white spaces
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand, this piece shows some evidence of age and love, most notably in the worn red trim. There are a couple very light residual stains and some thinning in the turkey red fabric in places, and a couple very small places of appliqué lift. Still lots of life left in this quilt to cherish and enjoy!
Measurements: 84” x 86”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this collection will go to Tubman, Minnesota’s largest provider of domestic violence shelter services. For more, see tubman.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.
