Woods of Autumn Churn Dash Quilt
Ere, in the northern gale,
The summer tresses of the trees are gone,
The woods of Autumn, all around our vale
Have put their glory on….
- William Cullen Bryant / from Autumn Woods
This wonderful quilt from the mid to late 1800s, was carefully planned with a beautiful collection of brown fabrics with a variety of prints, from yellow and pink roses to birds, houses, and confetti. Pieced into small Churn Dash blocks, they create a simple, pleasing, and interesting landscape. The various degrees of fading (likely due to a combination of sunning and washing) on the brown fabrics give her a lovely aged patina. Washed by hand, yet some light stains remain here and there, as shown. Some staining on the back. Her binding has also worn and there are a couple small surface holes (see photos), but she is a keeper and will be thoroughly enjoyed by someone who appreciate her collection of fabrics.
Measurements: 68” x 96”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.
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 Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV) — an organization in Atlanta, Georgia that supports women and children survivors of domestic violence through various initiatives. To learn more about their work, visit their website at https://padv.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.
