Budding Peony Irish Chain Quilt
A stunning, classic Irish chain quilt (alternately known as a Double Nine Patch on point), this quilt is stunning both in her dense quilting as well as her color, reminiscent of new peony shoots in the spring. Look closely at her 1-inch claret and blush squares which are printed with leaves and petals. The blush squares were likely once a match to the claret but were made with fabric colored with natural fugitive dyes, making the landscape of the quilt all the more interesting. She's in very good condition for being a crisp white quilt from the 19th century and is in excellent structural condition with just a bit of edge wear. She has some very light staining in a couple places and the slightest aging of her white fabric where she was handled the most, but nothing that stands out. A couple tiny small light spots on back. She has been washed by hand and is ready to be a wonderful addition to your collection.
Measurements: 71” x 90”
$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.

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.
