Duck's Foot in the Mud Quilt
A spectacular quilt from circa 1910 rendered in a beautiful pattern with chambray blue fabric against a crisp white, this was surely the proud accomplishment of a master quilter. Very meticulously pieced and quilted with lovely feathered wreaths in the negative spaces framed by a wide cable border. The colors of a blue summer sky filled with clouds, this quilt will add a wonderful accent to your indoor space. Can you spot the one block (sometimes called a Humility block) that is not like the others? In excellent condition with just a couple tiny light marks and the slightest touch of discoloration along one edge (see last photo for an attempt to capture this). A beauty to treasure and enjoy for years to come.
Measurements: 80” x 82”
Included with this quilt is a hardcover copy of Sophie Blackall’s picture book Farmhouse.
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount.

15% of profits from this sale will go towards scholarships at Milkwood Farm, a creative retreat for the children’s book community, run by author and illustrator Sophie Blackall, author of “Farmhouse” and many other wonderful, acclaimed children’s books.
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.
