Sea Leaves Quilt
If you are in the garden, I will dress myself in leaves.
If you are in the sea I will slide into that
smooth blue nest, I will talk fish, I will adore salt.
-Mary Oliver
Nine beautiful hand-cut and appliquéd clusters of leafy calico blues grace this unusual crisp white quilt from the turn-of-the-century quilt — a variation on the Hands All Around pattern. Her slightly wavy forms giver her a beautiful organic feel and she would be beautiful both spread on a bed or folded as an accent on a quilt rack or chair. Her forms bring the outside in and her colors are clean and soothing. The Indigo Calico used for the leaves have a tiny circular print, like little bubbles. She’s a lovely lightweight piece for summer and her quilting gives her a beautiful texture. She has been washed by hand and hung to dry and has no significant flaws to note (a tiny mark on the back as shown in last photo) . A treasure to make your own!
Measurements: 66” x 80”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($10). ORDER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIP OTHERWISE.
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 House of Ruth — an organization in DC that supports women (and their children) who are victims of domestic violence.
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.
