1915 Hand and Heart Crazy Quilt
As long as you’re dancing, you can break the rules. Sometimes breaking the rules is just extending the rules. Sometimes there are no rules.
– Mary Oliver
There is probably nothing scrappier than a Crazy quilt, often made with fabric scraps and remnants from both sewing projects as well as old clothing from various family members. As is often the case with Crazy quilts, this one has an assortment of different monograms, likely of family members. A lovely hand is prominently embroidered on one of the patches, a reminder of the loving handiwork of the maker(s). The back is a beautiful soft cotton indigo fabric, pieced in a few parts, and turned to make the trim. This piece is in very good condition for a Crazy quilt her age, with just one missing patch — a little window to the indigo fabric on the back — and one patch with slight wear. See photos. This piece hails from the Blue Ridge Mountain area in Virginia and is really lovely accent piece for your home!
Measurements: 64” x 76”
$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.
15% of profits from this sale will go towards Safelight, a North Carolina-based nonprofit agency that provides support for survivors of interpersonal violence, sexual assault and child abuse. For more, see safelightfamily.org
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.
