Calico Blues Log Cabin Quilt
Yesterday is History,
’Tis so far away –
Yesterday is Poetry –
’Tis Philosophy –
Yesterday is mystery –
Where it is Today
While we shrewdly speculate
Flutter both away –
Emily Dickinson / from Yesterday is History
It’s rare to see a quilt that shows the beautiful patina of time, yet is in such amazing condition. For a log cabin of her age, she is in remarkable shape with only two log cabins that show some wear (see photo). Her plethora of indigo calico logs have that beautiful fading that only indigo gets — take a look at some of the close-ups! Her pretty pink centers lend the log cabin a gentler look than the traditional red hearth, and her creamy back adds to her softness. Edged by a chambray with tiny pink flowers. For snuggling, this will be a go-to. She’s clean and ready for her new home. (Note one pin prick mark on back.) Lucky is her new owner!
Measurements: 66” x 80”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($8). 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 the Tahiri Justice Center, a national non-profit organization that supports immigrant survivors of gender-based violence. See Tahiri.org for more on their work.
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.
