1878 Dove at the Window Quilt
The prettiest pattern rendered with a beautiful indigo calico fabric, this Dove at the Window quilt is a true gem. Signed in two corners by her maker with initials and date — ‘HMW 1878’ — this masterpiece must have made her proud. Feathered quilting weaves in and around the indigo blocks and the edge is trimmed in a starry indigo fabric. The corner blocks are beautifully done and resemble little boats. She’s in excellent condition for her century and half of age with just a touch of fabric wear in a few places (see photos). Washed by hand and ready to be a treasure in your collection.
Measurements: 67” x 84”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. If you need shipping outside the 48 contiguous states (Alaska, Hawaii, worldwide), please choose Local Pickup at checkout and reach out for a separate shipping invoice.

All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.

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.
