Feather Edged Star Quilt
But little by little,
as you left their voice behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world
Mary Oliver / from The Journey
Twelve elegant feathered stars grace this softly colored beauty, made even more beautiful by the passage of time. She’s expertly pieced and quilted, with small diamonds and tiny triangles feathering each star point. Accents of grassy green and varied browns are distributed throughout each star. The negative pink spaces are all triple quilted by hand. In fact, look closely and you will see a variety of quilting patterns that texture this quilt (turning it over to the back is the best way to see this!). She’s in very good condition for her age; just a smattering of very small marks/stains as shown in the last photo, a few brown triangles that have worn, and some wear on the binding. She’s been washed and hung to dry and is ready for her new home.
Measurements: 62” x 82”
PLEASE SELECT SHIPPING FOR QUILT ($20), NOT FOR A SMALL QUILT PIECE ($8). 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 the Tahiri Justice Center, a national non-profit organization that supports immigrant survivors of gender-based violence. See Tahiri.org for more on their work.
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.
