Summer’s Cloak Double X Quilt

$0.00
SOLD

Oh, summer has clothed the earth

In a cloak from the loom of the sun!

And a mantle, too, of the skies' soft blue,

And a belt where the rivers run.

-Paul Laurence Dunbar / from In Summer

It almost seems as if this quilt was made to illustrate these verses! The brilliant cheddar and sky blue sashing set against the bright white and pink blocks are an homage to summer. And to top it off, her back and trim are made of soft romantic cream fabric with a lightly printed floral motif. The closer photos show how beautifully saturated the cheddar and blue fabrics are, and the pink is an intricately detailed pink print. In incredible condition for her age with just two or three light marks (as shown)this quilt has been thoroughly washed by hand and hung to dry. She has a lightly stitched pole sleeve on back should you have a wall to spare. What a beautiful splash of outdoor color she will add to her new home!

Measurements: 70” x 88”

PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($10). ORDER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP OTHERWISE.

15% of profits from this sale will go towards House of Ruth — an organization in DC that supports women (and their children) who are victims of domestic violence.

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.
