Cozy Calico Log Cabin Quilt
Pattern: Log Cabin, Barn Raising
Date: c. 1910
Provenance/Notes:
An incredibly cozy iteration of the Log Cabin pattern, made in a barn raising design with a lovely array of different white calico fabrics in the light spaces, and reds, pinks, indigo and greys in the darker spaces.
Look at some of the close-ups to admire the fabrics used. One of them has tiny lime dots embroidered on the surface; another is dotted with pink rosebuds.
Notice the wide inset border in the red and black fabric
The back was pieced in soft, wide, cream bars
Maker/origin unknown. Hails from Maryland.
Washed by hand and in excellent condition. A few thoughtful repairs were made. One is hardly noticeable but so special: a very thin piece of almost invisible white mesh was stitched over a log to preserve the fabric. A few little patch pairs on back and one along the edge. See photos.
Measurements: 78” x 80”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. Price for smaller items have been adjusted (lowered) to account for the lower shipping cost.
International customers: If you enter a shipping address outside of the US, you will not be charged for shipping upon checkout. A separate invoice will be sent once shipping is calculated. If you need a shipping estimate, please reach out ahead of time. Tax will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards supporting the YWCA Queens. For more, see ywca.org
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.
