Autumn Birds in the Air Quilt
A fantastic rendition of the Birds in the Air pattern, this quilt is like a celebration of the fall season. She has a lovely balance of scrappy and organized: each block is anchored by a solid blue or green triangle with two pink and two cream blocks, and the remaining four a scrappy variety of browns, grey and whites. Over 2000 triangles were meticulously pieced to create the quilt top, which was then beautifully quilted using a back fabric with very fine black grid, like miniature graph paper. She has just the right amount of patina, with a creamy background fabric that has faded and lightly aged in some places. This quilt is in overall great condition for her age, with just 11 or 12 brown triangles that show a bit of wear (towards the edges) and a bit of aforementioned discoloration and light staining to the background fabric that does not detract from her beauty. She has been washed by hand and is ready to become your favorite quilt!

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.
