Buttercup and Raspberry Quilt
There must be fairy miners
Just underneath the mould,
Such wondrous quaint designers
Who live in caves of gold.
-Wilfrid Thorley, from “Buttercups”
The golden yellow squares on this delightful vintage Irish Chain quilt glow like buttercups under your chin. Made with a cotton with a slight sheen, this lightweight beauty adds a ray of sunshine to any spot. Alternating are squares of a light raspberry hue that match the border. Fine hand quilting throughout, the white areas stitched in a floral motif. The yellow dye on this quilt did not want to contain itself within its squares and has run a little here and there, but as light as it is, it doesn’t detract from her beauty in our opinion. The fabric is in excellent condition with no visible wear or tear. One tiny spot as shown in photos. She hails from Richmond, VA and has been washed, hung to dry, and is ready for her new corner of the world.
Measurements: 74”x82”
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
10% of profits from this sale will go towards Gray Panthers, a US-based advocacy organization for the elderly whose mission is to combat ageism and achieve social justice through intergenerational collaboration.
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.
