Purple Calico Windmill Quilt Top
A stunning jewel-like quilt top made with a wide variety of 19th century fabrics, including many beautiful madder browns, against a rare purple calico that has been beautifully preserved and framed by a double pink border. This quilt top is pieced by hand, and would be beautiful quilted or enjoyed as is, as a decorative accent and fabric study piece. In overall very good condition for her age, there are just two small tears and a couple small light stains. Purple calico is usually a fugitive colorway, and there is a touch of color change visible on the edge and a couple small spots where the purple has started to fade to brown. But overall her purple is in great condition! A beautiful piece of history to bring home.
Measurements: 70” x 82”

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.
