Feedsack Snowball Quilt
A beautifully constructed red and white snowball quilt, made of the sweetest tomato red fabric dotted with white and carefully pieced. She’s like a classic storybook quilt and would be at home both in a traditional country setting or be striking in a modern one. Her back is pieced with old flour sacks that were bleached, but still show remnants of some of their history. Look closely and you see the faint reverse marks that read “FLOUR” and “Seal of Minnesota.” She’s a light-medium weight quilt that has a nice feel and substance and lays beautifully on a bed. This quilt has been washed by hand and is in excellent condition with no flaws to note. A classic to add to your home and collection!
Measurements: 72” x 79”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.

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.
