Deep Indigo Bowtie Quilt
I will not play at tug o’ war.
I’d rather play at hug o’ war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
Shel Silverstein / Tug-O-War
Bows and knots are ancient symbols of strength, loyalty, and ties that bind. Rows and rows of them make up this beautiful indigo and white quilt from the turn-of-the-century. Made with a rich indigo blue calico and quilted beautifully in rippling fans, she’s a classic that you will not tire of and will be at home in any space. Slightly thicker than a lightweight quilt, the touch of extra batting coupled with the intricate quilting gives this quilt a wonderful texture. She has been thoroughly washed by hand and hung to dry and is in excellent condition with just one tiny spot where a small seam has gotten loose and one small negligible stain on the back (see photos). She will add a beautiful accent in both a modern or traditional setting and is ready to be yours!
Measurements: 66” x 74”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($10). 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 House of Ruth — an organization in DC that supports women (and their children) who are victims of domestic violence.
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.
