Pattern: Double Nine Patch
Date: c. 1880
Provenance/Notes:
A wonderful, glowing iteration of the Double Nine Patch pattern, with wide purple calico sashing, punctuated with double pink squares
The mathematical and artistic planning of this quilt makes it so pleasing to the eye. If you study the design, you notice that the pink squares are the same size as the patches in the blocks, lending a lovely balance between the sashing and the blocks.
Notice some of the scrappy mix of fabrics within some of the little Nine Patches made up of madder browns and reds, and purples, greens, and pinks
The back is a natural muslin which has been turned by hand to create a very thin trim
Meticulously quilted in a diagonal grid
Maker/origin unknown.
Washed by hand and in great condition with just a few light residual marks and a couple tiny seam openings along the side of two squares. A couple very light residual stains on back. See last photo.
Measurements: 78” x 95”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of the Tahiri Justice Center, a national, nonprofit organization that serves immigrant survivors fleeing gender-based violence, an organization we are now supporting for a third year in a row. For more about their work, please visit www.tahiri.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.
