36-Patch Postage Stamp Little Quilt, c. 1870s
The most wonderful scrappy crib quilt from the mid to late 1800s, this quilt is a fabric lovers delight. Not only is her background fabric a wonderful and whimsical brown leaf print, but her postage stamp blocks are filled with colors and graphics of all kinds. The background fabric also makes up some of the blocks in the quilt, which gives her a wonderful asymmetrical feel. Her greens and yellows pop against her earthy tones, much like the beginnings of a spring garden. She has been washed and is in very good condition for her age with just one worn square, a little bit of wear on her edge, and one area of fading. Her back has a little bit of fabric discoloration, and she has some slight shifting of batting. (See last two photos.) But nothing that detracts from her beauty! A rare piece to add to your collection!
Measurements: 41.5'“ x 48”

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.
