Cranberry and White Irish Chain Quilt
You can have the other words-chance, luck, coincidence, serendipity. I'll take grace. I don't know what it is exactly, but I'll take it.
-Mary Oliver
A clean and simple, classic design, this cranberry and white Irish Chain, framed with red border, is generously sized and will add a timeless accent to your bedroom. She was lovingly made by hand with a soft white fabric and red squares with a warm burgundy undertone, and happy daisies quilted in the in-between spaces. She has been washed by hand and is in overall good condition. A wonderful everyday piece and was likely used as such, as she does have some wear — a few small surface holes/tears and edge wear in places, and a few lights scattered small stains as shown in the last couple photos. Embrace her bits of loving wear and you’ll bring a lovely piece to add brightness and warmth to your bed!

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.
