Red Daisy Quilt
Pattern: Meadow Daisy Variation
Date: c. 1880-1890
Provenance/Notes:
A magnificent spring garden in a quilt with bright red daisies with rich cheddar centers, surrounded by buds and berries and leaves
The appliqué work was masterfully done (notice the tiny stitching around the flower petals and berries) and the fan quilting was executed on a very small, dense scale, which gives the quilt a wonderful texture
A thin double border in red and green frames the quilt
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in great condition with just some wear on the trim (see last photo)
Measurements: 68” x 86”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the work of Safelight — an organization we are now supporting for the fourth year in a row. Safelight is a nonprofit agency in North Carolina that provides support for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. For more, see www.safelightfamily.org
SHIPPING: $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. Taxes will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
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. Orders may be subject to VAT/customs fee of the destination country. Please see www.flyinggeese.co/faqs for more information on shipping.
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.
