1880s Rolling Stone Quilt
This is one of three quilts that comes from the Packwood House Museum in Pennsylvania. Made around 1880 in a beautiful variation on the Rolling Stone block, the quilting on this piece is astounding. The background fabric, which is now a parchment-like color, was once a yellow. A seam opening on this quilt reveals the yellow calico that it once was. The greens have faded to varying degrees, and these colors combine to make a beautiful, elegant neutral landscape where the quilting is the star. This is also one of the largest pieces in the collection at 94” x 96”! This piece was definitely loved and enjoyed and has a few areas where the fabric shows some wear and a couple seam openings and small surface holes that are waiting to be stitched up and a couple tiny white paint spots. Please see the last few photos. But she’s a treasure to continue enjoying for many years to come. She has been washed by hand and is ready to be a beautiful bed cover in your home. This quilt will come with copies of paperwork kept by the museum.
Measurements: 94” x 96”

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.
