Variation on a Crow's Foot Quilt

$1,095.00
sold

Pattern: Crow’s Foot Variation

Date: c. 1880-1890

Provenance/Notes:

  • A scrappy masterpiece, this quilt sparkles with her tiny little triangles and all the movement in her hourglass shaped pieces set into her blocks

  • Each of the tiny triangles measure only one inch

  • Not one block is the same and each one as wonderful as the next. Notice the one with two little green triangles, reminiscent of the lingering leaves of summer

  • The gorgeous deep indigo blue background is dotted with tiny circles and she has a wonderful woven, textural checkered back

  • Maker unknown, hails from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia

  • Washed by hand and in excellent condition with just a touch of residual discoloration in a few lighter areas of the blocks and a couple teensy wear spots on indigo (see last two photos)

Measurements: 68” x 77”

$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 The Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+) to aid their efforts in providing relief to craft artists from the damaging effects of Hurricane Helene. For more about their work, please see www.cerfplus.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.
